im riding on 17x9 +35 right now with no issues on inner clearance. on coilovers and 215/40/17s tho. i think that if i were to run 235s on em there would probably be some issues with inner clearance and guard scrubbing.

Hmmm... I'm going to talk to the guy to see if I can keep my 225/40/17 rt615's and have a local tireshop swap the tires out.
I doubt he will be happy with that, but its worth a try!
18x8 +45 on coils should be fine yeh? but people have said 45 offset is bad... why so??
+45 isnt bad unless ur go any wider than 8". then u'll probably run into inner clearance issues. but 18x8 +45 just wont compliment the look of the car as much, since it will sit a fair bit inside the guards. i think flush fitment looks much better. gives cars better stance
if you're talking about the gold work meisters in 18x8+45, i've been running them for about a week :p one thing i can say, no scrubbing ftw (1 finger tyre tucked)
haha yeah those meisters.... kinda thinking about them, but dont think they would look that great cos ive got the mugen wing on my car so yeaaaah =[...
how's it look in regards to stance stig?
i think it will look alright with the wing, as for stance i like it to be flush :) but flush always results in scrubbing and im sick of it now lol
quite enjoyed running around with the meisters actually, looks alright
any pics? =D
shitty one i took off the phone

aggressive offset ftw! lol

damn.. nice dish hahah
btw.... just wanna confirm it:
18x8 +38 front, 18x9 +35 rears, 215/40/18 on coils.
what issues am i gna run into...
u shouldnt get any issues with that. at the most, u may just need to roll the rear guards. but should be ok. ive got no issues with 9" wheels with +35 offset. only thing besides coilovers that ive done, is have my guards mildly rolled. no camber kit. so far ive had 2 people in the rear with no problems. ekdez has run the same specs with no problems on full load
ah okay sweet just needa save for the money now =D
hey guys,
will 17x8.5" +32 fit on ep3? anyone running similar specs? also will 215/45/17 tyres fit fine on it? or should i go wider tyres
hey guys, wtf is the stud pattern on new civic hyrbrid? is it 5x114 like others.
yep. 5x114.3
thanks man.
Do Accord 17 X 7.5 offset= 55 fit on FD1?
That should be fine.
how about 17x9 + 17?Quote:

yup all good
Couldn't find anyone putting a 16 X 6 wheels... Will that affect the handling?
16x6? what offset? That's skinnier than stock.. It won't significantly affect your handling.
16x6 is going to look funny as well lol. Go for a wider tyre if you want the car to have better handling and some decent tyres will help in that process too.
16" wheels are small, but still fine. although u should opt for something wider than 6".. i think thats nearly the same width as stock fd1 wheels. 195 tyres will look very thin in terms of stance, and wont get u much traction.. but if u compare it to stock, its nearly the same. not much of an upgrade.
stock is 6.5" wide.. so thats a downgrade..
quickly bolted these up today, before I put them back on the 180 and sold them with it :(
shame I can't keep them and shame I didn't have time to lower the ep first...
17x9 +30, 215/45 yoko s drives

Dam that would of looked nice if it was lowered and you had a camber kit.
Would a 17x9 +22(F) +28(R) with 215/40/17 912's all around be a problem on a FD?
Im not sure if itll clear the caliper. Perhaps with a camber kit, rolled guards itll fit. I was reading before about how even the jdm dc5r rims or something clipped the caliper. Not 100% but ill get back to you when i find more info. I want to try run 17x9 +38, so i guess if yours fits, mine will be all fine.
http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthr...-fit-FD1-civic
Have a read of that :)
+38 on 9" wide will Fit but will be close for inner clearance if u have coilovers. I have about 1cm or less distance between my rim and front strut on +35Quote:

what do you think is the lowest offset i can go without having too many issues..and keeping in mind i wanna track it..
thanks !
is your ep lowered? also what sized tyres would you plan on running?
I haven't lowered my ep yet, so i'm unable to confirm what the lowest offset could be... but looking at the "16x7.5 +24, 205/55/16" I test fitted the rears should only need a roll/lip... the fronts should fit with a bit of camber. I'm planning on running 195/45 tyres though, might go up to a 205/45 depending on how much clearance there is.
im planning to go coilovers...i dont have a clue about tyres...help lol
Man with 16s you gonna need some low ass coil over set up. If the ep has a stock offset of +45. I'd say the lowest u can go with guard rolling n coil overs are +15. But with 195 Tyres u won't get good grip though. If Tyres. I find dz 101 is awesome. Or sumitomo htrz3 is awesome.
Oh well thats good news thanks. Im just on s-tech springs atm, the rear seems sorta high ( finger and half gap) so im not worried about scrubbing, but im worried about the front. Will i need much camber? the ku31's 215/45/17 able to stretch onto the 9 yeah? Thanks a ton aero!Quote:

205/45/17 for little bit stretched, 215/45/17 for flush with rim, 225/45/17 for a bit of sidewall bulging like on the cl9's
Thanks Stig :D
hey,
will 215/45/17 be able to fit on 17x9 inch ?
cheers
I was looking at those specs, people said that itll be quite stretched.
should be ok. it really depends on the tyres tho. get something with a good stiff sidewall and a brand that has a reputation for stretching. ive been running on 215/40/17 tyres on a 17x9 rim for nearly half a year now. love the stretch look!
thanks man, will kumho 31 suffice?
repped +++
ku31s are quite stretchy imo. Had them on my previous rims and getting them shortly again. Shouldnt be too much of a worry mate. Just may look a bit stretched is all, helps to reduce scrubbing though if your cars dumped.
will 18x8 +48 with 225/40 tyres fit an 2006 fd with coilovers? dont have coilovers yet but will be running them in the future... this offset business is pretty damn confusing! some offsets you can run coils some you cant some widths you can some you cant!! haha thanks in advance for your help!
+48 is really tight.... i think it might hit ur coilovers (but if i remember correctly, someone said it JUST fits?). and u should prob run 215/40 tyres just in case
so 18x8.5 with 235/35 or 235/40 would be really really tight?!?!Quote:

18x8.5 should be ok but u shouldnt need spacers depending on the offset of ur wheels.Quote:

its +47, you reckon? as i really wanna go 235sQuote:

im not really going to dump the car.. currently its sitting on 1finger gap all around with stock 17s on 15mm spacers..just flushed..doesnt rub at all even on uneven roads..
This might have been covered already tyre recommendation for the folllowing wheel spec its for a ep3 17x8 +35, +45?
Im on 235/40/18's now , doesnt rub at all, I must say it was a pretty tight, probably 2-3mm from the rubber gas coverQuote:

scrubbing on that rubber gas cover thiggy?? .. i looked at it..and looks like it goes flatter or deeper from the middle to the top area means you should get less scrub if your lower? but not really sure ey..Quote:

my wheel wore a hole straight through the gas line cover thing.
after rolling and a little pulling i can have a full load with no probs.
will 18x9.5 +30 fit on and fd?
what will it need? rolled guards + camber?
mmk. i guess today we have established that 18x9.5 +30 all around will fit, but not with 235/40 tyres lol. im thinking 215s + camber will make them fit nicely without scrubbing.
have u got any pics of my car with all 4 wheels on, khoi?
Just wondering can 205/50/r16 fit on VTi-L stock wheels?
Cheers
they should fit

hey guys
im looking to get new wheels and tyres.. just wondering for 17" wheels.. what is the desired specifcations for CIVIC FD 08 model..
5x114.3 +45 offset.. ? would it be ok with a offset of +42 as well?
The tyres I was looking to match the set of wheels are 215/45/17..
I've based these on the Civic Sport... my vehicle is lowered with springs
Any advice appreicated
Thanks
Based on my experience the 17x7.5 with a +35 offset will fit your car right cause i drive a civic sports 08 and bought rota svn on that size.Especially yours is lowered so it will fit without scraping.And the tyres specification you want will fit on that size,cheersQuote:

If the offset was to be higher, say +45, exactly the same wheel & tyre size & stock suspension, will the issue of rubbing at rear be fixed? Is scrubbing at front expected when turning full lock with say +45 offset? Intending to keep stock suspension and not lower the car. Thanks in advance guys.Quote:

Same size as the post that i quoted mate but maybe increase the offset to say +45 or so.Quote:

if 19x8.5 +43 works on stock suspension, then +45 should fit ok on stock suspension. 2mm of offset is a very small margin. however, coilovers wont allow those specs. if u end up getting aftermarket suspension, u may need spacers for those wheel specs. stock suspension is very soft tho, and altho u may not scrub on ur outer guards, ur tyres may scrub on the wheel wells and splash guards during dips, bumps and hard turns.
^ Oh ok. Cheers man.
Hi man, I am new to the forum..
I am just wondering whether I will be able to fit in 18x8.5 ET30 and 18x9.5 ET40 with 235/35 and 275/35 on my FD2?? I will be using an aftermarket spring and will roll my guards..
Is that possible??
i can't see any way of the 275/35 fitting?
and 9.5 +40 might be hitting your suspension depending on if you have a/m shock + springs or only stock strut + springs..
roll + flare + pump + pull + whatever is gonna be needed to fit 275 ......
Lol..
So the only way is to change the rear tyres??
Or is it possible to set up negative chamber?
Lol..

negative camber will only bring the rim and tyre even closer to ur suspension and cause problems. 275/35 is far too wide for our civics. 18x9.5 +30 can fit, but not with 275 tyres. not even with 235 tyres (i've tried lol). u'd probably need 215 tyres and a bit of camber and have guards rolled... but that would ruin traction and function of having wide wheels if u were after better grip and performance.
