Running 17x9 +20 with 215/45/17 all round.

Got a new set of wheels/tyres coming in for track setup the next few weeks:

17x9 +35 245/40/17
17x8.5 +30 225/45/17

Will be interesting to see what I need to run them. Panel beater said he can space my guards for me if I need more clearance. Hoping to run no more than -2.5 degree camber at the fronts but should have enough adjustability to go to -3.5 if I need to. Not sure how well that will go for handling though. Time will tell!

damn off by one digit, knew it was 17x9 +20something lol.

hey guys,

- Fronts are 18x8 +35 offset with 235/40/18 Kumho KU31
- Rears are 18x9 +30 offset with 245/40/18 Kumho KU31


would this setup fit a FD1 civic?

Put the 9" at the front and the 8" at the back as having a wider wheel at the back is creating resistance.

Besides that, offsets seem fine, might just need to roll fenders etc. Not sure about the tyre size though.

Similar set-ups, also give reputation to users quoted as thanks to them we have this information available. (even though they may be 19" doesn't matter)

I Think you will have a lot of problems on the rear :p

What Is it with people and putting wider at rear? Since when did the FD become the new nsx?

Incorrect stagger ftw.

Because the Civic R18 is the new RWD racecar yo! JDM TYYYYTTTEEEE

On topic: Also to get the wheels looking "flush" wouldn't you have to do at +5 at the front? Can't remember where I saw this but somewhere someone said that the front is a little more sunk for some reason o.0
