ohhhhh i see now..thanks. so it could act as a buffer from gutter rash too then ey?
hmm but how come in that pic above, it says the 225 is 0.4" taller? so wouldnt that change the diameter of the whole wheel and mess with speedo ?

yeah.. thats the exact measurement of the tyre on a wheels.. =)
oh i see, but... one of them is larger in terms of height.. doesnt the diameter of the wheel have to be the same? otherwise the speedo reading will be off?
The idea is to get it as close as possible. So larger rims require tyre with lower profile (height) so that the overall rolling diameter is as close as possible to stock and hence the spedo will be almost unaffected.
Speaking of which.... getting rubber fitted on my Rays G-Games 99b tomorrow :)
ahh i see so little change wont really matter. alrite cheers.
ohh, what settings u going for? and which tyres =] upload some pics when you've fitted them..and tell us if theres any issues with the offset lol =]. gl with it!
Cheers... yeah so the rims are 18x7.5 with +35 offset.
The tyres are Dunlop Dirrezas DZ101 in 215/40/18.
I'm not expecting any rubbing at stock height.... but with offset of +35 it should be sticking almost out of the guards... should be interesting. Getting them fitted on in 7.5 hrs... oh and its my b'day too :) so it's a bit of a gift to myself.
ohhhh. haha happy birthday mate =]. have a good one.
but since its 7.5 with +35 offset, wouldnt that mean width of 8 with +40 offset would do the same thing? or would the increased offset prevent it from sticking out of the guards and the increased width basically not change anything?
didn't go too well. 1. The load rating seems to be incorrect. They weren't sure of what the min required load rating is.. They'll call honda monday. I have pics but will upload them tonight. Car looked good tho :)
cant they check the load rate frm our manual?
whats the load rate got to do with it? hmm at least it looks good haha =]
is it for the tyres?
hmm, so why would there be a problem with it?
