Would 17x8.5 +32 or +35 fit without any guard rolling on an EP3?
is your car lowered? if yes, i think they'll scrub....Quote:

should be ok if camber is adjustible. the front might be a bit tight. if you are not lowered by coils you will have very little room inside.
Might just have to make the drop very minimal then. It will be running on tein monoflex so I'll probably just drop it 1cm and be done with it
FD2, looking to run
17x8.5 +30 w/ 225/45 all round, rolled guards and front and rear camber kit, with coilovers.
should I have any issues?
should be ok imo. tyres are kinda fat tho
Gday guys,
Looking at purchasing an FN2R, but was wondering if anyone on here would have some links to pictures of some with some 'proper' fitting aftermarket wheels? I have done a search and sadly nothing has made me stop and say 'wow'....

Ive currently got gtr r32 v-spec wheels ( 17x8 +30 w/ 205-45 ) on mine with a 15mm bolt on spacer. i was thinking of getting some 9" to go on soon but was worried of it hanging out too far. lol
Yep they are r33 GTR wheels, 17x9 +30 offset... aka "GTR offset"Quote:

I have purchased another set though, since selling the 180 & I've only bolted up one on the front of the car so far after lowering it. I put 215/45/17 yoko S drives on them all round. With the current height I'm at (approx 1 finger between the guard and tyre) the wheels stuck out about 25-30mm? The corner/edge where the side wall meets the tread sits almost flush with the guard, sticks out about 3-5mm. I'm sure with the car a little lower and about 1.5 neg camber it should tuck in nicely. I'm assuming it will rub on the guard liners on the front. Rears I'm waiting to roll the rears first, install the coilovers and camber arms, before I put them on. Only trouble I can see would be clearance on the rear trailing arms.
a 17x9 +30 compared to your 16x8 +30 (+15 effective offset)
inner clearance: 28mm less
outer position: retract by 2mm
I guess check your inner clearances and go from there, atm your effective offset sticks out 2mm more than the r33 gtr wheels. So nah they won't be hanging out too far... Unless you're planning on getting a 9" rim in a lower offset?
Not sure what car ur referring to though, but I assume its a dc2r? or maybe u have a ep3?
Any pics of your current wheels, on the car?
Hey man, yeah it's for an ep3. I've rolled the fron and rear guards already.Quote:

I'll take a pic when I can, probably this afternoon.
Is that a 215 on the 9" rim? I was thinking of running 205/35 or 40. How much of a stretch was it?
Will it need start-ya-bastard to get it on? Lol.
Correct, it won't hang out as much as your wheels by 2mm.Quote:

205/40's on a 9" rim is a fair stretch, I don't think I would feel safe rolling on a 35 profile tyre! (hard cornering, hitting a pot hole etc)
There some pics in here http://www.tyrestretch.com/
of a 205/40/17 on a 17x9, you'll be able to see the edge of the tyre is more vertical, the rim protector bit will sit further away from the rim lip. Where as a 215 will curve slightly over the rim lip, that's if the tyres have those rim protector bits. The amount of stretch will also be dependant on what brand tyre u use, some will run wider than others in the same size.
I'd go a 205/45, if you really want to get a 205... at least that way you'll be closer to having your speedo almost correct.
Yeah good point. Id rather be safer so I might actually run a 215/45 on the wheel.
Judging from what I've seen with that combination, it looks good.
Thanks for the info/help :)
I noticed front and rear guards on the FN2 have different clearances, is this the same with EP3?
Are the GTR wheels the same spec all round or staggered?
Yep same specs all round on the GTR wheels.Quote:

HI guys,
just wanna ask will 18" X 7.5 60 offset fit FD1 without modify anything?
need at least a 15mm spacer for the rear, would go 25mm all round though
Would 17x9 6ULR's fit an EP3 at standard height? any scrubbing issues?
What's the offset? It should fit and might stick out a bit. I had Mugen suspension which is lower than stock by about 1.5cm with 17x7ET24 and it would only scrub with full car and a loaded boot.Quote:

LOL 36 i wouldn't drive on that. all u need is a nice rock on the road to get a blowout
haha! :( fingers crossed for the next 3 weeks then.
Thats really unsafe lol even the rubber is starting to give out.... you must be running some serious camber.
he is lol
Just wanna let this out, lol, so please feel free to flame me....
i saw 3 blind mices today one behind another and didnt know where they're going so they decide to weave in and out of traffic like dangerous morons (which looks cute by the way) with expensive volk rims and it still looks crap (FN2R, they look like giant logitech mouse).
Thank you! :)
LOL giant logitech mouse HAHAQuote:

18x9 fits fine for me. lowered. 2 people in the back..
Hmmmm i need to know so i can purchase or not =(
just pm dez or stiggy.
that is too much. on stock height with stock suspension, u will be scrubbing everywhere. on stock height, with coilovers, the inner clearance will be a major issue. also, with a 10" wide wheel, u will need a wider tyre, so scrubbing will always be a problem with those specs.Quote:

Hi I would like to know 17 x 8' +30 offset will fit on ep3 without rubbing the tyre.
I'm using stock suspension but going to roll guards.
You should be fine once you've rolled your guards...
17x8 +30 is the same outer position as the 16x7.5 +24 bbs meshies I have test fitted, which had 205/55/16's on them. Fronts had a slight poke, rears had slightly less poke. Test fitted when the EP was at stock height. You might get away with a 215/40 or 45, go a 205/45 if its cutting it too close. Inner clearences will be fine.
I have posted pics on here somewhere? I don't have access to photobucket at work, therefore can't pull up the exact pics for reference for you.
(There some on page 2 of my intro thread VVV)
any probs with running 18 x 8.5 + 30 on fd?, gonna run buddyclub n+ soon as well..
&& with 235/40 tyres?
get some smaller tyres to avoid scrubbing on guards and u should be ok. 215/40 or 205/40 should do
Hi all,
I've checked this thread but cant find the info I'm looking for. Basically I just want to know if I'll run into any issues if I got 18X7.5in wheels & with 225/40 tyres for my FD1 civic (VTI-L).
Offset would be either 42 or 35. My car and suspension etc is totally stock. I'm currently looking at the Work Emotion XT7 wheels.
If anyone could give me info regarding my question, that would be awesome!
would fit without any problems, ive had 18x7.5+42 with 225/40 lowered and it was still fine
btw 2nd post in the thread,
Car Model: FD
Front Wheel and Tyre Size: 18x7.5+42 and 225/40/18
Rear Wheel and Tyre Size: 18x7.5+42 and 225/40/18
Suspension: Coils
Guard Modifications: None
Issues with Setup: None
those specs are pretty safe and should be fine. btw, is there a reason why ur goin for 225 wide tyres? 215 tyres are also a common size and is the recommended width tyre for 7.5" wide wheels. but its not that much difference i guess.
member on here (markcivicvti) had some rays g-games wheels with 18x7.5 +35 specs on 225/40 toyo proxes and on stock suspension. there were no problems with it, but apparently there was some scrubbing when the car had 4 or more people in it... 215/35 or something tyres could resolve that issue if ur not wanting to do any minor guard or suspension work
+42 will definitely be fine running on 225/40 tyres. +35 may be some slight scrubbing on 225/40 tyres
thanks for the info guys - sorry I overlooked the second post, I was a little unsure if having coils or stock suspension would affect wheel fitment for that size.
cheers!
I was going off the reccomended tyre sizes for civic type R, since they also use a 18X7.5on rim (but with a 55 offset)Quote:

That size looks to be fine, from what I have seen already on some EP's set up for grip... Similar setup's I have been looking at were a 17x9 +35, one was running 235/45's the other 245/40's. Both have rolled guards all round.Quote:

I am in the process of fitting my 17x8 +38, 245/40's to the front of my EP, will get back to how it goes in regards to how it handles/performs. I reckon a 235/45 on the 8.5 should be pretty sweet!
thanks rps.13, awesome stuff
Hi guys. Does anyone know whats the standard wheel size for the 2010 FD2 sports with the 17" sports rims.
Looking into buying new rims but dunno what size to get.
Anyone got any advices for 17" rims, And to make it as wide as possible without rolling the guards. with a good amount of camber. i dont want camber like holden drivers with pretty much 90* camber.
Right now the car has standard suspensions but looking to buying coilovers or springs + HD shocks.
Thanks
Just to inform you, the more you lower, the more natural camber you will get. For rims go for like 17x8 or 17x8.5 ( depending on offset ). Any wider and your going to run into guard work, camber etc. And be aware of tyre size as well as you will get more scrubbing from fatter profile tyres
Thanks for the info :D
i got good fitment from 17x8 +35, just had a bit of scrubbing at the rear but thats been fixed. performance wise im not too sure. uploaded a few pics in the syd ep3 threadQuote:

hey guys, quick question, are the OEM FN2 type r wheels Enkei Monza's??
similar design but no
Hi Guys,
Didn't want to spend all day to read the whole thread for the info. I am planning to change my wheels on my Civic VTI-L 2007. I have my eyes set on the Enkei GTC01 18x8 +45 offset. Will I have issue's with this rim? Running on stock suspension but later will upgrade to coils. Also not sure what tyre size I should use for this.
Any help would be great. Planning to have my wheels changed in the coming week.
Just make sure you dont get chunky tyres and it should all be sweet man
225/40/18 or 215/40/18?
go for the 215/40 tyre.
Planning to get Bridgestone Potenza RE002 tyres.....they don't have 215 size pattern, only 225...Quote:

some good tyres there... lol. i guess 225/40 will still be ok with 18x8 +45.
u could get some toyo proxes. they're also very good and they do have 215/40/18
Proxes 4 have good grip, but the road noise is terrible especially on the front set.
i agree.. especially when ur going 90km/h +.. sounds like a planeQuote:

cheers =)
sounds ok but depends how low you are and what tyres you chooose to run.
I got my wheels installed.
18x8 +40 offset Enkei GTC01 with 225/40R/18 Bridgestone RE002.
Fits perfect. Only minor issue with hitting the humps too hard though. My wheels hit the fender.....
What should I do? Will having coils solve the problem? Do I need to roll my fender?
Are you on stock springs? if so its probably because the springs are really soft so if you turn really heard, hit a hump, have people in the car, its going to hit the fenders and bounce around. You could either get stiffer springs/coils or get tyres in like 215. Just slow down on the humps bro lol
Yea I am on stock springs. I do get cautious on humps and stuff, but when you have people in the back. I can get a slight scrap over a hump. Also from speeding on a straight and hitting a small incline dent in a road.
I might get my rear fender rolled abit.
rolling the fenders should help a little. are u gonna plan to lower ur car? if so, then the natural negative camber may also help.
On my FD
I'm running 17x8 +30 205/45R17 with 20mm spacers on front, on coils and have only a little scrubbing with guards half rolled. I could roll them completely flat and flush, but i'm already cracking paint so that can wait.
I'm running the 17x8 +30 215/45R17 on the back, rolled as much as I could, only scrub on the back bumper screw when there's more than 2 in the car.
Car Model: FD1
Front Wheel and Tyre Size: 17 x 9 + 38 , 225/45/17
Rear Wheel and Tyre Size: 17 x 9 + 38 , 225/45/17
Suspension: coils
Guard Modifications: guards all rolled
Issues with Setup: fat tyres scrubs on the rear screw like no tomorrow when there are people in the car. Offset is too high, too close to the strut and has created a hole in the fuel line plastic cover.......
yeah, my plastic cover has a big hole in it too.
Can I run 17x8 +35 rear and 17x9 +38 front on stock suspension without looking like a dummy?
Its going to look funny and it'll scrub because your suspension is soft and you got no camber xeno. Dont think it's a good idea
buy some coils first.
Alright thanks guys. I might just scrap the idea of wheels altogether and put my money towards more performance mods
