Your wheel sizes for FD Civic

after looking at some specs from traders and stuff, they seem to be thinner than stock nuts, and about similar in length?

34mm in length & 23mm in diameter

those are the specs for the RAYS short lugs, and i believe work ones are pretty similar? well they wont be fatter than stock i'm quite sure of that.

work nuts photo's.. you can measure your stock nuts..

can always give it a go :)
my suggestion is to get a lower profile tire..
spacers are always your best friend in times like this...

i was looking at some 19x8 wheels which had an offset of +45. from reading those two posts, it seems like its not a good idea for an FD?
im wanting to go 19" on my car, but i am also going for a decent drop on it, so i wouldnt want the wheels to sit flush with the guards.

what are best dimensions for 19" wheels and tyres?

go with a 19x8 +35~42 and dont use anything more then a 35 profile.

there are some online calculators which can give you an approximate, on how far your wheel will be sticking out further or closer to your disk, to the mm.

here are two offset calculator thingys ive used in the past:

yeah 2nd one is the best. easier to understand. LOl

anyone have pics of fd w/ fn2 wheels? is the offset ok on them?

yeah stig has done it before, its a fine fit. i would go look for the pic but im capped sorry =[. looks pretty nice btw

yeah i searched all through this thread but couldnt find the pics, i've seen it somewhere before though! ><''

what do you reckon of these wheels for fd? im in love, though it could look very shit - the blue look will be awsome with what i wanna do to the car..

here's pics -

edit - sorry for the massive photo!

Size; Front is 17x7, Rear is 17x8. Offset is +37

wow not badd.. im not a personal fan of those types of spokes but i know they look good on our civics anyway =D.

btw the 17x8 +37 could prove to be a little tight on your guards/wheel arches

***** resize those Lol running skyline offsets on fd civic :p thats baller! do it :)

would i be able to tell straight away with a test fit how well they sit?
