Question for you - are your guards rolled? You'll need a flat roll to get some 'flush' fitting rims.

I suggest if you want 'flush' but no hassle with guards and fender work... 17x9 and around 30 offset I reckon is where to be at.. with a 215/45 or 225/45 tyre should be okay with guards rolled flat and a touch of neg camber. Only thing with this is that not many jap rims come in that width and offset... It will mainly be like 17x9 +35 or above.

I personally would rather get the set of rims to be the specs I want, and not run spacers but heaps of ppl here have run spacers and loved it

I find that with spacers, it allows that extra bit of flexibility with rims and makes them easier to sell should you decide to do so.

Lol turbo charge your FD. Cops wont expect it so you would get away with it. If yours is a Civic Sports you can do a K24 swap
and its pretty cheap.. Im actually concidering doing it

Might need some new tyres though.
I highly doubt those tyres will clear the guards. Might need a little bit of stretch?

Okay. Thanks.
Have you heard of FEDERAL 959 tyres?
Theres alot around going for $180 each fitted and balanced

Autotechnik in Sydney does a new set of enkeis cheaper than that. Better offsets too.

Google them. That's no tyres though.
10-05-2013, 08:23 AM
Areis

If I were to run enkei RPF1s, theyd have to be at least 17x9 or 17x10 (like what duffy wanted to run)
215/40 tyres are the perfect tyres IMO. Have run those tyres on my last 3 setups and they work perfectly.

Anyways, everyone seems to want bags ay.. Someone buy my car :P 23k with BBS RS (less 3k for no wheels)

Approx $700 for major 2year/40k service. Leaky shocks under warranty; they had to replace brake pads and windscreen wipers.

Does that sound reasonable..?

What spec tyres? If they're 215/40 ill take them. I should buy some daily wheels as well.. Don't want to get defected again zz
10-05-2013, 04:04 PM
SharkChu

So.. in regards to the service.
24mth/40k = $253
Replace brake pads labour = $55
Oil filter = $21
Element Assy = $61
Washer = $2
Blitz cleaner = $4
Blade Rubber #1 = $22
Blade Rubber #2 = $28
Set, Pad RR = $162
Environmental disposal = $4
Engine Oil = $44.40
Shop Supplies = $13

All up $735.

How's that?

Edit: Replace shocks all under warranty.
10-05-2013, 04:35 PM

yeah what spec r the tyresss??

and shark that seems awfully expensive lol

btw at Honda_FD: the enkeis you see in that pic you put up are probably at least 17x9 +45 (flat face).. the 17x8 +35 set you're looking at will have a convex face (eww).

Im picking up the wheels tomorrow but i highly doubt they're 215. They look really chunky on a 17x8 wheel.
Im planning on getting 215 IF i get those wheels

The Rims looks flat. Would 17x8+35 look similar because lower offset will pull the wheel out a little?

This is ages ago, havent put up an updated photo yet.
Its 17x7.5 +45 at fronts and 17x8 +45 at rears. I got 15mm spacers all round and the rears poke only slightly., fronts tuck just underneath the guard. Sort of get the idea.

I have a friend selling Fluro Orange Enkei RPF1's
17x9+45. perfect wheels size and cheap price but i dunno about orange though :(

I think Orange rims on a street car is. . . and i quote "Ricer"

What are your thoughts guys

10-05-2013, 05:33 PM
black8thgen

you might have some inner clearance issues with a high offset like that on the fd

and when i say 'flat face' i mean almost concave - the spokes on the 17x8 as you see curve out but on the 17x9 such as your friend's and in the pic on the previous page, they sink inwards

Oh okay. My firend has and FD aswell and he had no problems. but his car was built for track no the wheels were poking on a good ride height.

Thats what im scared about. im scared 9" will touch the inner walls
10-05-2013, 09:57 PM
black8thgen

9" with +45 will probably hit the inner walls especially if you're lowered with some neg camber

hence why i said 17x9 +35 is pretty much perfect (look for some of aero's pics) he had 17x9 +35 and it looked clean as

I'm running 17x9 + 35
Currently scrubbing due to tyres 235, if I had 215 it'll stretch abit and won't hit the inside as much.

They do a valve clearance adjustment at 2year/40K service which is why it costs so much, still a ripoff though.
