man.. im running 19x8 front and back with offset about 35 or 38.. cant remember. the rear scrapes like a bitch on bumpy roads, hard cornering and when there's passengers in the back... this is still on stock height.
the rears stick out like ekdez's fd. >.<
ive gotten my guards rolled, but its still not much different... i dont wanna sell the wheels, coz they just look so damn hot! :(
i guess i need to scrape up some money to get some epic STIFF suspension or sumthin?
really? try thinner tyres, 225 or 215 perhaps, im running 235 on the rearQuote:

Lower profile tires and coilovers or stiff spring and shock combo.Quote:

ill be going back to the shop where i got my wheels, ill try to negotiate with him to get some thinner tyres. im currently on 235s, which is probably too much, but ive only used them for about 3 days.
i had a full car load on the weekend, when i went to take some friends to play some footy and it was probably the worst experience ever!
ill probably sell the wheels n tyres.. although i cant post them up on this forum, since im not of "Member" status.
lol you got major scrubbing hey.
yeah.. 18x9 + 35 on the rear.. im either gonna have to grab some camber kits or pump my guard :\
sucks hey.. im in teh same conundrum as you :\
mind you, this is my solution,
im grabbing some camber kits, rolling my lip's and then running negative camber until my tires wear out..
then i'll grab a thinner profile stretch tire over it. and run less camber.. although i seem to remember you only have stock sus.. where as i have coils.. esh!
gl n e how.
im putting an 18 inch rims (black with red lip) this weekend plus lowering........ill post it as soon as i got it
whats the specs on the wheels? and what are you using to lower?
SHould look good!
yeppers but i wont have any money free for ages lol.. and i'd need shipping to bris too much effort
you got pm'd.. =)
you also have pm
ive taken off my 19s for the mean time, in the hope that someone will want to buy them. so atm, its back to the oem 15s, baby! ballin :cool:
lol bl man..
friendly advice, do your research first on dimensions and such before you buy.. dont just go for looks =]Quote:

so far ive gotten a quote from 999 on the skunk2 rear camber kit, which is about $550 just for the kit on its own and $750 for the kit, including installation and wheel allignment.
has anyone has ever installed one themselves, and if its worth paying the extra for labour and allignment etc or better to diy?
thats a rip for camber kit. i wouldnt pay much more then 400 for one.
Lucky u dez =P
=] thanks man!
ill tip you ;)
ill go bank tommorrow =]
watcha reckon dc5r wheels (silver w/ red H centrecap) on an fd would look like? i found a guy selling for 550 w/ tyres in bris
spray them black :D
got a Q.. so today i drove my girlfriend to uni and when i went to take her back home from her exam i noticed that my front left tyre was considerably less inflated than all other tyres. i drove to the nearest petrol station and pumped up the tyre again...
it was fine for the next few hours, but on my way back home at about 11pm i decided just to pull over to a petrol station and check tyre pressure... and the front left was at about 24psi.. well below what it should be...
so this is probably a puncture or sumthin? im riding 19s and wondering where i go from here. can they easily just patch the tyre if it is a puncture, or is it more likely that i need to by a whole new tyre?
what tyres u on?
did u find any puncture holes? if so u can easily patch it up with tyre rubber cement and filler.. u can buy that from any car store.
if not, there could maybe b a crack along the tyre wall surface
your not going to have any air in it tomorrow by the sounds of it LOL..
probs ran over some building equipment.. eg a nail or some shrappers or debris
happens all the time..
if its a nail or something a tire place will just fill it up with a plug.
if you have a gash on your tire wall or something on the wall u will need a new tire.
i had the same problem with my 20s, you need a new tyreQuote:

back to stockies ftw!
well after a full 24 hours, on my way home again i went to check my tyre pressure, and it was the same as all the other 3 three wheels. i've no clue if it will slowly deflate again or not. ill have to keep a check on it..Quote:

hmm 235 shouldnt even deflate at all, that should be enough give for it to strech... well with my one it started going flat overnight, pissed the hell outta me
im running a 225 on a 9" rim.
no problems yet.
i want to get a 215 lol... stretch fit ftw!
just have to stretch the right tire otherwise it will cost $$$
stretchtyre.com yo
you are on 18s arent you ekdez? more wall for it to flex!
dez is on 19s for those bbs isnt he?
nah 18 =]
i heard falkens and conti's are the best for stretching..
same as nankangs.. but they horrid tires..
worst ones are kuhmo and some other ones.. cant think of n e thing atm.
ohh, wow they dont look 18 lol. prob cz ur car is slammd a lil bit
hey dez, how's the rear wheels coping with the coilovers? still scraping with weight at the back? how does it cope with a full load, heavy boot or 2 people in the back?
not fully slammed yet..
looking to lower the front another 2.5 - 3 inches
and the rear about 1.5 inches
but no, not scrubbing much.. i have my rear coils on +12 hardness on the n+ i like it stiff.
its just on HARD turning the tread will touch the lip of our fender.. but its only the tread which does nothing.. like the part where the tread ends and turns into the wall of the tire. so imagine these are a wheels []-[] on the top edges on the outside..
ill take a picture one day and show u.
a little hard to explain..
anyone using FN2R wheels on FD2? just wanna know the offsets matching.. lol..
fits fine. someones done it before, forgot who, but good fit.
without spacer?
yeh pretty sure no need for spacer
i think it was Stig that had fn2r wheels on his fd. there werent any issues with it.
http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showpos...postcount=3012
you are going to need spacers if you are on coils
if just stock supension/springs etc, yeah its fine
u can fully turn ur steering to each side without spacer? that was sweet.. =)
hi guys, what tyre you guys using for 18" rims ? I am deciding between Toyo T1R or Yokohama advan ... any suggestions?
yupQuote:

I have fn2r wheels on atm... don't need spacer and you can fully turn your steering. Thinking of selling it or swap with 08 sport wheels. anyone interest?
hey ks_b ive always wanted to see what the fd looks like with fn2r wheels..care to show us some pics?..thanks
damn i wouldve been interested if the rims fitted my car, unfortunally it doesnt due to coils. just brought another set of sport rims lol, currently have 3 sets in my possession atm LOLQuote:

i still wanna sell my 19s. my friend is willing to sell me his 17s, but atm i need bit more cash for em. hopefully ill get a bit of money from tax return.
hehe tax return .. spending spree
yeah those were the ones, might just respray them gunmetal now if i have timeQuote:
