If you're wanting zero finger gap you'll want a roll on all four corners and bumper tabs cut and relocated on rear. otherwise you will rub on bumps with a 225 tyre.
what susp. are you running? the stiffness of your sussy will also impact this.
i'm running buddyclub N+ coilovers on 5 clicks from fully stiff setting.
you'll need a guard roll all round if you wnt to so run those specs that low. won't rub once you have though so its definitely not a headache fitment setup :)
should remeber you can avoid guard rolling if u run hectic camber + run a 215 tyre.
Hi guys will these fit without rolling guards or scrubbing? Haven't lowered my car yet but will b getting N+ and ingalls rears soon.
18x8 +38 225/35/18
All round.
yep should be fine, you wont be able to go like 0 finger gap at the front tho with that size cos it sits almost flush so without a roll it might rub
Sweet! Yeah I don't plan on running 0 finger gap. Just enough lowerage to make it look good and avoid rolling guards and scrubbing.Quote:

my 97 accord
17x8 +35 215/45 fronts
17x8 +35 225/45 rears
-3 camber all round

as you can see no stretched tyres, sits flush, no rubbing or scrubbing

how it is now, with 17x9 +35 rears 215/45 stretched
^ Nice,
I am thinking of purchasing a pair or SSR Professors
F: 17 x 8 + 41
R: 17 x 9 +49
and run run 25 mm spaces
But i am not to sure how 17' would look on the euro ... opinions
[also just picked up my n+ ]
Hmm The ssr that u getting shuld b just fineQuote:

they'll fit with no problems, but you might want to try a much lower offset if you want to get any kind of decent stance.Quote:

best advice is to look around for your wheels and wait until you find the perfecting sizing. I've compromised a lot and run spacers and run into headaches with wheels that weren't right spec.
You can literally make anything fit, but it just depends how you want to go about it.
17's will look hot though ;)
if you want to slam you euro to the ground and want a nice stance 17x9 +22 all round would be great.
Alright cheers.Quote:

haha yeah was leaning towards that anyway. How many mm should I lower my buddyclubs (considering I will have rims around those specs in the future)Quote:

most people go bitch fitment in aus, so step it up and try something unique ;) run a 215/40/17 all round as well.
dudes have fit 18x9.5 +25 so a 9 +10 isn't impossible. it'll only sit out an extra 9mm from that and you'll have heaps more inner clearance to run some epic camber.
good luck :)
Lets hope it all goes to plan....
:-)
my current measurements areQuote:

This mean 0 finger gap at front and -1.5 finger cap at rear
they will fit tho you will need atleast -3/-4 camber at the front cos that will poke like a bitch and between -4/-6 at the rear. Ontop of that you will need a roll and pull all round + removing the fender liner. As a side note, if this car is ur daily i wouldnt run that hard.. you will go through tyres like condoms at a brothel.. :)Quote:

if its for weekend, than woo you hard work will pay off, you wont look back.
yeh bro if its weekend, go crazy on it!
follow UMAD style :D haha u know whu im talking about
I got air runner for sale it shuld help :) hit me up with offer
^ lol
umad is a bit to crazy haha
looks like i will be picking the rims up next week somtime
I'm still getting a feeling I'll need to roll guards with these specs even with a 2 finger gap..... (reallllly do not want to do guard work etc....) Should I just go for a safer 40's offset or am I just being a worry wart ha.Quote:

Would it be a pretty flushish look?Quote:

i have 8.5" + 35 on mine and the rears with -2 finger gap still has about half an inch from the guards
fronts, the rim is dead even with the guard with same ride height.
Rims and coils arrived today.
Ended up going for BBS RS in 17X9 +20 all round and BC N+
Just wondering if anyone can recommend a place in SYD to get my guard work done
that will be fresh!! pics pics pics pics!
not sure of guard places in sydney though...
Will post some pics when i get home from work.Quote:

Also should i still get 215/45/17 profile ?
yes to rubberQuote:

if its a weekender and you want to go a bit more hectic on the stretch a 205 would look hot ;)
Try Sydney Guard Rolling. I paid 120 for both the fronts last year. Alternatively, you could try Top One in Arncliffe.Quote:

Hi guys sorry to bring up a old thread but I am about to buy some Work Emotion Xd9's and was wondering about size. I was looking at getting 18x9 all around with +30 offset in matte black. Would 18x9 all round be a bit to much? I would like a aggressive look but also dont want the car to drive like crap.
cheers
Bunthoeun
How low do you plan on going ?
Im currently running Buddy Club Coilovers with about a 2 finger gap up front and no gap at the rear on stock 16's. Also got ingalls camber arms in the rear.
So i would like to run a finger gap between the wheel and wheel arch.
good man! i just bought myself a set of RS's also :D in 17" just waiting for em to come over from japan :)Quote:

sorry should off read the whole thread first. I have read somewhere on another forum that a guy running 18x9.5 all around on a integra said his ride was crap with the aggresive stance.
what offset did you end up getting ?Quote:

i need to get 2 center caps didn't know they were so expensive :@
iv also decided to spray the centers takata green with polished lip :D
Hi guys. Im looking at getting 18x8 for the front and 18x8.5 for the rear. I wanna run 225/45 tires for the front and 235/45 for rear. What i need to know is what offset should i look for so i dont have any clearance or rubbing issues? Currently its stock height but will lower (not a lot) in the future.
Nice! Would like to see pics when they're ready.Quote:

anyone tried fitting 17x9 +15 on a euro how much work am i expecting
Thats a bit ambitous...I'd reckon it will require lots of guard work and camber. Not worth it. If you wanna go 9" wide stick with a +30 or higher offset.Quote:

and if you dont get defected again =P
it will still happen :P
ofourse, but should have kept it a secret, surprise ppl =P
19x8.5 +38
19x9.5 +38
would it fit with rolling of guards when lowered?
you should just do it, just incase. Better be happy than sorry, when i fitted my wheels i went out and got guards all rolled and all camber kits then installed the wheels, never went back or worry when i went wider wheels.
