949 racing 6UL wheels on eg civic

[simply.shredded]

hey all,

im looking at buying some 6UL wheels for my eg civic, but not sure what width to get.
would 15x8 fit easily on an eg, without rolling the guards? car does have coilovers.
Offset for the wheels is +36

also, would the tyre size 195/55/15 be sweet or look at other tyre specs?

thanks everyone.

Can anyone help out?

ive had that combo on the front of my eg with 205/50/15 tyres and you definately have to roll your guards unless your car is a 4WD.

Yeah true

Would 15x7 or 15x7.5 be a better option?

guards rolled and ur sweet
im still in a pickle atm still trying to find out if 6uls will be fine with the 12.19" wilwood brake kit

[mytfoz]

out of them 2 i say 15x7.5

Benny recommended that to me:
15x8 all round
or
if you want a little stance, 15x9 fronts
15x8 rears

front what i remember i still needed to roll the guards even with 15x7s at the front. Just roll your guards it doesnt cost much.

i highly doubt 6Uls would clear those brakes...
youll most likely need spacers or 16 inch rims
16 inch rims would be my suggestion as youll probably need 20mm spacers

I'm currently running 15x7 wheels with 195/55/15 and guards aren't rolled but my current wheels have +35 offset

Guess I could roll them but if I don't need to then I wont

not a fan of 16"
see how i go maybe chase up a smaller wilwood kit
or else im gonna have to go brake shopping >.<

Can anyone else confirm what size wheels will fit or not without rolling the guards?

All depends on the offset, tyres and width man, it's hard to say unless you make a decision on what you want.

What do you want the wheels/tyres for? Do you want the Stanceworks look, where your wheels are wide, tyres stretched, cambered off its ass? Or do you want something more JDM, flush, functional, drives well?


I like setups that don't require all that messing around so I'd personally for 15x7 +35 knowing that I don't have to worry about that kinda stuff.

I do want a practical set up, for street and occasional track, but did also want something like looks nice and flush and not too thin and leaves a gap between tyres and guard

So I mean it's either 15x7 with a +36 offset

Or 15x7.5 with a +42 offset

Or 15x8 with a +36 offset

Just don't know

My current set up is 15x7 +35 and have no issues at all.
