hi,
i would like to know 18x8.5+35 on 225/40 or 215/40 fit our FD?? lowered on tanabe nf kit coilover, [f] +01mm ~ -50mm / 5k, [r] -33mm ~ -61mm / 4k.
BTW, i want to avoid any guard modifications, pls confirm.
CHeers
Not possible mate. You need to roll the guards and save the rear tabs
Thx mate, possible to overcome with higher offset? or is it too wide(wt if 18x8 on 215/40 or 205/40)? wont lower too much, current @ -35 mm front and back. Welcome any input. Thanks.
Car Model: EP3R
Front Wheel and Tyre Size: 17 x 9 + 30 , 235/40/17
Rear Wheel and Tyre Size: 17 x 9 + 30 , 215/40/17
Suspension: Coilovers
Guard Modifications: Rear Guards rolled, Front Guard to be rolled as it scrubs from time to time.
No worries. 215/40 should be better but will probably still have to roll guards, well at least the rear. Not 100% on thatQuote:

Refer to the following post for fitment:

Had to do the same with mine. Also running BC Racing coilovers.
Hey Symphorced,
I was just thinking of getting Todds Tie rod ends? Whats your thoughts bro?
I've currently got both Todds shortened tie rods as well as Akom inverted tie rod ends. Handling feels awesome even with such an agressive set up.
I'd say get the inverted tie rod ends first and see how it feels.
nice work stig
18x9 +30 Front and rear and problems with this spec guys?.. guards rolled and coils what do you think?
with Work XD9 rims
cheers =))
Will look hot! Depends how low and what profile tyres but the rims will fitQuote:

17x7.0 +42, has anyone tried this? im interested in buying P1's atm.
cheers everyone (Y)
that is pretty much stock specs, would be pretty sunk in.
so it wouldnt rub or nothing? currenty have dc5 type S wheels on atm
205/40/17 with +45 4x100/4x114.3
Will these fit on ep3
jprak: yeh it would fit no problem.
butterfingers: ep3 are 5x114.3, so they wont fit.
hey guys,
will Rays Volk Racing CE28N, Titanium Silver, 17x7.5 +43, 17x8.5 +47 work? any work i need to do fit them or what are adv and disadv.
thanks
The 17 x 8.5 + 47 will be very close to the suspension, just be aware of that. Not 100% whether or not itll fit, had a set of 18x8+48, fat tyres, couldnt fit it at all
IMO you will need spacers with those, especially if you want to run any neg. camber at all.Quote:

thanks for the info guys. might not get them=)
can the FD's go on 17x7 +38?
fd's can fit 18x9 +20 on the front and rear without any issues. ;)
use the wheel offset calculator to measure the changes..
17x7+42 is the stock civic sport wheels.
the 17x7+38 will only sit on the hub 4 mm wider, so 4 mm more inner clearance and 4 mm less outter clearance :thumbsup:
hey ekdez
so that means im able to go below 42+ to 38+ and up till 46+?
sorry for the noob Qn's. never did understand the wheel concept thing><
afaik the fd sports wheel aka ep3 wheels are +45 offset not 42
Just get an offset between like 20-35 and your all good as long as its not wider than 9' and dont run chunky tyres
you'll need guards rolled though
Plus that lol
ill always say this.. best fit for FD is x8.5 +25 ~ +30 :thumbsup:
Hi guys Im looking at having Mugen GP wheels for my EP3. Just some questions.
1.Will they fit the car?
2.If they fit I was thinking of running 17x8.5 with 48+
3.Can I run these with coilovers with no scrubbing?
4.Looks like the max I could run on these rims would be 215's?
Thanks
Anyone?Quote:

Seems ok then, does the mugen susp have adjustable rates and camber? how do they feel?Quote:

Anyone see any issues with running the following sizes on a EP3? Apart from being slightly a smaller diameter and circumfrence than OEM specs.
Front: 225/45/16
Rear: 215/45/16
On 16 x 8 +38 all round
Car Model:civic fd 08
Front Wheel and Tyre Size: BBS LMs 17x8 +20ish 225/45/17
Rear Wheel and Tyre Size: BBS LMs 17x8 +20ish 205/45/17 (and a 20mm spacer)
Suspension: Tein stech springs, hardrace camber arms
Guard Modifications:rolled rears
Issues with Setup: scrubs on hard bumps and turns. doubt i can have anyone in the back seat. looking to fix it hopefully with more guard work.
Got pics of the back man? You should reduce the spacer size at the back, and increase the tyre size, you're probably poking a bit, but due to the camber, getting a shit about of rubber on the ground.Quote:

I'm running 16x8ET35 all around with 224/45R16 and everything seems fine.Quote:

Currently running this on FD2 Sport.
BBS LMs
Rear: 17x8 +45 225/45 KUMHO
Front : 17x8 +40 225/45 KUMHO
Was wondering if i can run springs with no rub or nething?
Cz right now on stock suspension is fine. but i wanna get some Tein Springs.
An FN2R related question. Anyone on here running 19s on their FN2R? Whats the widest I can go? Also what offset and tyre sizes?
Thanks
I'm currently running:
Not 19's, but I can't imagine you having much issues if you go with lower profile tires. Plenty of guys running 19's in the UK. I'm running:
Car model: FN2
Front Wheel and Tyre Size: 18x8+40 and 225/40/18
Rear Wheel and Tyre Size: 18x8+40 and 225/40/18
Suspension: Stock
Guard Modifications: None
Issues with Setup: n/a
too aggressive.Quote:

17x7.5 and 17x8 offset 45+
if i recall dont quote me on this
anything in between 20+ and 60+ our FDs will fit
someone confirm this for me?
would they look bad? im looking for something that would sorta almost be level with wheel arches
hmmmhttp://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...31446732_o.jpg

Hey guys new to the scene, can someone advise if this will fit my FD
Rota Gforce matt black
18x9 +20 or +25 offset 215/40 with coilovers
Rolled guards
Do you think it will fit?
Can someone suggest a good brand coilovers my mates have buddy club but there too stiff... Are there smoother ones?
Would I also need to chamber the wheels?
if you want running smoother suspension and you are driving over the bump you dont want the rims hits the guard inside right
Car model: FD2 Sport
Front Wheel and Tyre Size: 17x8+40 and 225/45/17
Rear Wheel and Tyre Size: 17x8+45 and 225/45/17
Suspension: Lowered on Tein Springs (25mm Drop)
Guard Modifications: None
Issues with Setup:I guess it rubs when you drive into the holes on the road. apart from that. All sweet.
would 17x8.5 +30 front
17x9.5 +35 rear fit on an fn2r?
ive seen pics of it done but not sure what camber settings the person was running and tyre size etc, dont even know which was on front or rear lol
^why do you want wider at the rear?
why wouldn't you want wider in the rear?Quote:

would i come across any problems with fitment?
Hey guys i ordered in a set of 17x8 + 40 GTC01s. Cars lowered on Tein Htech springs. Would 215/45s be alright with no rub? or do i need to go like smaller? Because previously i had 17x8+40 with 225/45 and it rubed evrytime i ran over something little on the road. If someone can confirm for me it'd be much appreciated. THanks.
Hey guys, would +35 offset fit on stock height ep3 without modification?
it would be fine, the wheels will sit flush,Quote:

I was able to just tuck in 225/45 Advan A048, 17x7.5 +32's on the rear, with about -1.0 camber on the rear. Probably had maybe 3mm clearence to the guard lip inder full compression, maybe a few mm more.
The fronts you'll most likely have an issue with scrubbing at full lock. I had very light rubbing when I ran 245/40 A048's, 17x8 +38 on the fronts. It was only apparent when parking. On the track it was fine. The tyres tucked in fine at around -2.38 camber.
Depends on what width.Quote:

Again depends on what size tyre you plan on running. Anything from 205/45 to 225/45 will be fine.
thanks manQuote:

just wanted to know rougly the amount of front and rear camber i needed to dial in and if there was anything prerquisite clearance work needed
Ahh okay, 215/45's all round will be easy to work with then. I would dial in the camber to suit your driving. Normally I have max negative on the fronts and about -1.0 on the track. For street wheels I leave the front as is i.e. max negative and camber the rear to tuck in the wheel/tyres.Quote:

Some EP's do, some don't. Also the previously mentioned scrubbing of the inner wheel well. Doing some quick math, you should be okay if your sticking to a 215/45.
Rear, with the width and offset plus tyre combo you stated you should be able to keep it close to 0 camber or even slightly negative if you wanted to.
i have j's racing spl tie rodsQuote:

btw, would it be possible to dial in the camber with a slightly worn wheel bearing?
last time i had a service, they delayed the alignment till i could replace the bearings, but im wanting to get it done for now, and come back to replace the bearings later. did they do that to save labour or is it not possible to do alignment with a worn bearing?>
Cool j's tie rods, then you can go to town with the front camber adjustment without any worries. Awesome :thumbsup:Quote:

They probably didn't do it, just as a side of caution to cover themselves. Say if anything went wrong. Google: wheel bearing failure danger, that should answer your question.
You could get it aligned and change the wheel bearing later. But obviously don't wait too long to do it.
Whilst your at it, you could look into changing your LCA bushes and roll center adjusters. Whilst the hub is out.
thas exactly what i was thinking, saves the extra labour costs of going back repeatedly.Quote:

i read that the audm dc5r ones are a straight fit?
good info champ thanks heaps
anyone running 16" wheels on their ep3? I'm considering purchasing a set and wonder how they look.
