also what you reckong about black on black
This is mine with 18X8 +38 all round, just to get a reference point for you.
-1.7 at front and -2.7 at back
So front fairly flush, rear can go more aggressive.

whats the specs of your rims trans and also what tyre sizes you running?
pm`ed.
**giggles**
should be carefull coz the high offset will cause the rear to rub the struts :)Quote:

Also with tyre choices it seems that a 215/40/18 at the front and a 225/40/18 in the rear is ideal. I understand that the fronts may need to get pumped out a little but what about the rear??. Also would anyone have any recommendations as to where I could get the work done in sydney?
you wont need a front camber kit, front doesn't camber naturally with a drop, you can go 215/40/18 all round, not issue with that. And i don't think you will need any guard work, only way to tell is to jack the car up and measure it with a tape measure. So u can work out how much clearance you have to work with.
Wow thought I would still need a fair bit of guard work. I guess Ill have to buy the wheels first and go on from there. Thanks !
To be both agressive and practical high 20's are the money.Quote:

http://www.willtheyfit.com/ - this will help
Tyre ware isnt too much of an issue if you can rotate them and have a good wheel alignment. The main problem anyone with fitted wheels will have is cops. They see low+camber+wheel outside guard = defect
so many lols in this thread.
x10hz dropping knowledge though :D
Its prolly best to get the guards rolled tho, would make life easy :) I think i paid around $60 a corner, cant quite remember.Quote:

Would I need to roll guards if I were to try and fit
17x8 +35 215/45/17 all round
lowered on buddy club n+ and rear camber arms?
Hey guys.. been doing a bit of reading up on wheel specs ETC, but i still cant get my head around everything.
Basically what i'd want to achieve is to have 18 inch jap rims (whatever works/volks/etc that tickle my fancy and come in the correct size), that would sit flush without any rubbing/scraping issues on the natural camber after lowering it a bit. in terms of lowering i wouldn't want it slammed, but enough so the car is fine for daily driving.
does anyone know what wheel width/offset id need, and what tyre specs would suit? I dont really care about having maximum tyre width, as that would dig holes in my pocket :P
cheers
Going to fit 17x9.5 +38 this weekend at the rear and 8.5 +32 at the front. 1 finger gap all round. Excited to see how the fitment goes!
sem you fitment doctor for euros, lets try my 17x8 17x9 +10 on your euro yerh?
Hoping my new xd9's don't rub the struts........
so how did you go dee-y?
Hey Phillip,
Doing my masters atm, so busy times. Will fit them this weekend. Hoping my the best!
Hi guys. Quick question. Will i have any issues with fitting 18x8+37 front, 18x9+32 rear? Not lowered, but will be at a later time by a bit.
will be fine, just watch out the fronts might rub inside, but rears are perfect and 5mm spacer in front is win good luck
I had 18x8+38 on my previous set up and there was no issues.
Thanks a lot guys!

Finally installed my eibach springs with bilstein shocks now need 18'' wheels LOL
what is the best offset using 18 x 7.5 wheels with no rubbing and flush with guards
+30 to be safe or you could go down to +25 or less but you may need to roll the font guards.Quote:

-.45 degrees up front. ( once i get my front arms i will drop it to about -1.5 up front )
-2.5 in the rear.

Mate that should fit no problems. In all honesty that offset is quite high which means it will look sunken in. Obviously not as bad as OEM wheels. No camber required. You will find 2 finger gap look too high. At least 1 finger gap.Quote:

9 inch wide at the rear with +42 offset. the car is currently just tucking on 16s with natural camber. ill have to roll the guards, but will i need to run a camber kit?
OK tried them on yesterday morning on my cousins euro.Quote:

fronts were a little sunken in. on that note, at this height/camber and with no guard work at all, i doubt you'd be able to fit these specced wheels with 225 tyres or higher.
I didnt end up buying the rims since they were in crappy condition but i thought i might aswell post.
instead i got a set of rota wheels off ebay in 18x8.5 +48, so im guessing i'd need spacers once theyre on my car with coilovers/camber kit :)
hope this info is useful for anyone reading and my best advice would be to actually go out and try a set of rims on in the specs that you want... if worst comes to worst, check rimtuck.com database or ask around! :D
hrmm you guys need to read the whole thread rather than asking questions, ppl asking about +40-+48 is like 8 mm difference. just look at most the pics and posts people put up and you will know if it fits or not. Only time u start worrying is the wheels have NISSAN offsets. ie. 17x9 +20ish. and also dont go too high as the higher the offsets the closer the inner of the wheels will be to your strut.
Yep. I'm pretty sure most of the fitments people will be wanting info on would have been covered in the 37 pages. As nam was saying on the high offset matter, as a reference I have x9.5+38 235/45 -3 camber, and I am fine.Quote:

Heres my previous set up.
Rolled guards, 12.5cm drop front and 15cm drop rear.
18x8.5 +20 Front
18x9.5 +17 Rear and -6 camber
impractical and changed tires every 3 months... =(
The best site to check "low offset wheels [CL9]" is TSXCLUB.com, the guys up there run some jaw dropping fitments.
One of the guys on there is running 18x10.5 all round. and not wide body, but need to run massive camber.
here you go, found the pic

I remember seeing that one on tsxc. Loco!
Peter...such a mad dawg. <3 him
That is so kool
now this thread is geting more interesting =P
Hey Fellas, a bit of a noob question.... will 7.5" +60 offset fit a CL9 ok??
just putting in my experinces with my cl9 im running 20x8.5 35p all round at stock height and it only rubs on the plastic inner guards with hard driving!! will update how it goes on coilovers once i find some dirt cheap
I was wondering if 18x9.5 +20 staggered will fit?
yes it will^
a few members on tsxclub run those specs
cheers man :)
can someone explain the offset and staggering to me LOL yes I can search but then this thread is what it's about YEAHHH
Question: do I need to do any fender bending etc for the following setup?
17x7.5 +40 offset
thinking about putting some Skyline rims on mine
depends how wide the tyres are gonna be?Quote:

is there an calculator somewhere to tell me what tyres I CAN use for any give size of rims?Quote:
Originally Posted by [SDCTVE]

i was tucking at the rear on x9 +40, i didn't really need to roll my guards, but i did anyway. and pull/bending outside the guards is extreme, u wont need to.
ok.. conflict of info.... /confused
well, im not tucking at the front, but ive got x8 +40 at the front, so i know at the rear for sure it wont rub or anything, but for the fronts, im not 100%, but im still certain that u wont need to roll ur guards for a 7.5 +40, i think the stock wheels are +6.5 +45? so its only like a 1inch difference isnt it?
16x6 +50 i think
if your gonna lower the car and gonna put anything wider then 215 then yes, go with that.Quote:
Originally Posted by Fredoops

factory sizeQuote:
Accord Euro
Size:16 Width: 6.5 PCD: 5x114.3 Offset: +55 (model 2003-2007 base model alloy wheel)
that's not how offset works, its not automatically one inch closer to the guard cos the rim is one inch wider.Quote:
Originally Posted by MWAKU

so go for the 7.5 but get skinny tyres?
sorry im a rim noob
yes, go for toyo proxes t1r 215/40 R18 (theyre 18's right??)
taleb tyres in sydney quoted me $160 each delivered to melb, so they'd most likely give you the same price to brissy! toyo's are great tyres!
17x7.5 +40 Skyline GTT rims
oh ok, well that was a quote for 18's. 17's will prob be cheaper, anyway hope that helps...
btw are they the r34 6 spoke rims??
Quote:
Originally Posted by [SDCTVE]

Dunno if they are heavy tho, i'm trying to keep the weight the same or less than the stockie's 9kg.
btw Fred those specs you don't need any guard work. My previous setup was x8 +38 and it cleared everything easily (hence why I chose to go x9.5 lol)
alright looking at a set of rotas in 18x8.5 +48
i just wanna know whats the best fitment i can achieve with 1.5 finger gap, having camber at -2 degrees, no more than that!
im thinking of smashing on a 10mm spacer for the fronts on natural camber (if the fronts even camber in at that height :P ), (18x8.5 +38), as that would look pretty nice
not too sure about the rears... what's the flushest setup you guys have seen that has not required guard work or camber?
tyres would be 225/40/18
cheers!
i am thinking to buy xxr 527 18" wheels
18x8.75 +35
will those fit EURO?
any one know?Quote:

just a guess, could be wrong, best thing to do is call a wheel place, they usually have a fitting guide, they can tell you what will fit n what wont.
http://kgm.tiwing.com/calcs/offsetcalc.htm
yup
XXR wheels
only have 8.75
JDMyard sell those XXR
anyone has this setup :
18x8.5 +30
any problems? any messing around like rolling guard's etc etc
will contact JDM YARD to confirmQuote:

aw dam it, didnt wanna have to do any of those and i was getting a good deal for the wheels i wanted :(
time to look around more.
would having +42 offset make a difference?
yeah +42 should be fine, just may have to run 215 instead of 235 or 225 sized tires.
How low are you and do you have camber kit?
