Anyone tried
17x10+18
17x9+22
215/40 all around. Maybe 225 on the 10" depends if the stretch is too much
On a FD2? No guard modifications., No Camber Arms & On Coilovers. Cars slammed atm.
Will it be too aggressive?
9" will fit if cambered
Or it'll poke
Pm Jamie as she ran 10"
How much negative camber for 17x9 +22 should we run in order not to worry much about tire wear?Quote:

Depends on cars height... I have -2 degrees natural camber. Takes about 6 months to wear out my tyres.Quote:

I would say. Make them straight as possible.
This is 8 months of Camber+Toe wear lol
Both sides looked like that.

Has anyone ever run 17x8.5 +30 on the rear of their EP3 with 215/45/17? Any issues on stock suspension?
Shouldn't be any issues. A few mates of mine run 17x8.5 +31's all round with 225/45's and I think the other runs 215/45's. Only very slight rubbing under load in the rear on the 225/45 setup, on non rolled guards.Quote:

Lowered on RSR Down
215/45/17
Which fits best?
17x7.5 +48
OR
17x8 +45
OR
17x8 +35
I have 17x7.5 +50 and forever wish it was better.Quote:

What's the definition of perfect? I don't want to get my guards rolled.
Looking at CR Kai 17x7 for EP3 lowered on RSR Down springs.
+32, +42, +47.
With no guard modifications, which offset fits the best?
As kreston mention. 17 x 8 +35 is best... I ran those specs and they're perfect fitment. I have a set of Weds sa90 for sale in those specs if u are interestedQuote:

If i was to do it again id go 17x8.5 +30 front and 17x8 +35 rear. With either 225 45 all round, or 245/40 front 225 45 rear
Pics? :)Quote:

Does anyone know if the JDM FD2 Type R Enkei rims would fit on a 2011 FD VTI without any mods?
I think they are 18x7.5 offset is +60.
It should. Dont see why it wouldntQuote:

Thanks
Has anyone fitted Evo8 Enkeis to their EP3? I've found a set and can't find any conclusive info on what size spigot/hub centric rings I need.
i think 64.1 - 67.1 hub rings to have the perfect fit
Thanks. I just got home from measuring the hub and inner rim diameter and got those figures as well :)Quote:

Hi guys,
I just need a little help on a tyre size to run with my 17x9 +35 without looking too ridiculous. 215/45; 225/45; 235/45 or 225/40? I'm on stock suspension/height atm but going to run on coilovers in the future.
Thanks in advance!
215 Will have a bit of stretch.
225 Will be a nice fit
235 will be a bit chunky. But some people like the chunky look.
I personally would go 225
I've got 225/45 and they're still a bit stretch but look great and I'm running same size 17x9+35
Cheers guys for clearing that up!
Www.willtheyfit.com will get you sorted mate
Guys that are running 17x9 +35, dont you find the steering behaviour a bit off?
Nope, not sure what u mean by that ?Quote:

Oh I forgot to mention the height changes.
Lowering pass one inch will affect the steering in every way but it's hard to keep a nice looking EP3 if you don't lower it pass that point.
Also running offsets below stock "+45" will increase scrub radius. This causes movement in the suspensions.
What do you suggest? Run a higher profile tyre to fill in the gap? or just deal with the lowering effects?
So you lowered more than 1"?
You have what they call bump steer. Get roll centre adjusters and you'll find that it works wonders. I drove my car lowered for a few months. Shit scary going next to a truck. Put on the roll centre adjusters yesterday and its perfect again
For very odd reasons, 17x9 +35 at the fronts causes harsh bump steer even with RCA's. When I changed to my stockies 17x7 +45, it actually made a huge difference with very slight bump steer.Quote:

I don't think adding camber is going to fix your problem.
Me neither. Then its gotta be offset.... Lower offset = more scrub radius
I should stop being lazy and update my wheel alignment specs on my thread lololQuote:

I've got at least a 2 finger gaps front and rear - I'd say I'm close to stock height..
I'm lowered to max low hehe
Gonna get new wheels soon
17x8.5 +40 with 235/45/17 Tyres all round
What supporting mods have you put into getting hehe low?Quote:

Lol max low on my coils.. Unless I take out some locking rings...
Have u done a wheel alignment since you got the 17x9+35?Quote:

Looks really good at that height, it's duuuuuuuummmmmped. have you decided on wheels? how long has it been at that height?Quote:

Not sure how you dumped it without any complication on steering problems Mikeyy168 even with RCA's...
What's your wheel alignment specs?
Yeah doosra, I got my wheel alignment done with the 17x9 +35 (fronts) when I had my RCA's installed.
yeah im getting enkei rpf01's in silver.Quote:

didnt have too much trouble driving - bump steer did get scary a few times but got used to it. RCA's changed it back to normal so the steering is AWESOME now.Quote:

This is getting really confusing... RCA's didnt change that much for me. Running 17x9 +35 my steering is all over the place compared to running 17x7 +45.Quote:

Thanks in advance Mikeyy168!
Well when I get my new wheels put on it'll be on new alignment specs. I'll keep you posted cause I'm buying brand new wheels and brand new tyres. Gonna be after a clutch change so it'll be a least a month or two
Sounds good. Ill be heading to another mechanic tomorrow, see if he can work his magic on aligning this problem.Quote:

Can anyone tell me what issues would be had if I were to fit 17x7+40 (245/45/R17) onto a Civic FD1?
245 Rubn the front guards, you need guards rolled and either camber bolts or adjustable camber plates
wont fit in the rear 235s doable depending on brand and again ya need adjustable upper arms in the rear.
245s also more drag a d u use more fuel
Ohhh, I see. That makes sense now. Thanks for that.
17x7 won't fit 245/45 either lol
Need 215/45
Yeah better size is 17x8, 205s is a nice stretch other step upto 17x8.5 +30 and stretch 215 or 225
Hello
Not stretch, for a proper fit 225s will fit 17x8Quote:
Originally Posted by Stevil

I would stay between a 215/45 and a 225/45
I had 205 on a 9 inch wide rim once and threw my speedo out by 10kms.
I have FN2R rims paired with 235/45/R18 tires but It wont fit on my FD, seems my tires are hitting my coilovers, what spacers should I need to buy? sorry im a noob :)
hey k20z2PH whats the offest of your rims firstly ?
I ran 245/45/17 on my FD over the weekend front and rear, thou I prefered some 235/40/17 as the smaller rollin diameter pulls a little harder, Im running 17x8.5 +30 which also fits nicely on Sti's, Evo'sand R32, yes my guards are pulled and rolled abit and I do have 2deg of camber up front each side.

Hey guys, I've got an 07 FN2R not lowered at all mostly stock
I'm thinking of putting on the rear 18x10 14 offset. And on the front 18x9 25.
What u think?? Anyone done it?
I've got stock rims on my fn2, with 19mm spacers... Fills it out really well
Gunna be aggressive and will look ricey as. Unless you plan on doing a stance look.Quote:

FDs and FNs are very similar for wheel specs
Civic FD - 17x9 +30 r ok? keeping stock height and want to keep virgin guards please.
guards may need to be rolled on rearQuote:

bro thats swag
Never go full retard...
For performance (so no 215s as that would defeat the point), I would like to run these Enkei RP-01 17x9 +35 with a 245/40 R17 or 255/40 R17 S-class tyre (hankook rs3 etc).
Attachment 28763
{Jealous of the late model Subaru and Evo guys and girls with their super wide wheels and super wide tyres! Figure it's a late model car too, Civic can play that game ;), but is it actually possible?}
Hopefully good sticky wide tyres would partially offset the FN2's cruddiness were I to take it on a track day. :)
Do you think it will fit? :)
I thought 235 was the biggest you could go without scrubbing?
i run 245s and 255s on my FD at the track with just the guards rolled and the right amount of camber, for street work would be too much guard rubbin.
FN not FDQuote:
