Euro - What wheels? Offset etc?

[davidrotheray]

well my old car ran a 35 profile, but from looking around, an accord has to run a 30 series profile with 20s? pretty rubber band like lol

[siknis]

thats my car at the moment.


20x8.5 +45 offset... if i had + 40 at that height, i'd have to modify the bumper and the mounts to make it clear between the bumper mount and tyre, at the moment its around 3-4mm gap.... guards are rolled as it was less than a pinky gap along the lip on the top of the arch... car rides fine no scraping nothing...

so yeah DONT go lower than +45... 45 is best for 20" a higher offset will rub on the inner guard over bumps, trust me even + 45 did before i heated up the pastic and cleanced it out.

your going to wanna get 225/30/20's btw, otherwise the tyres will scrub too

[mr747]

looks good man

fcuk i cant wait to get my car errrrr

[davidrotheray]

Ok cool, so nothing less then +45 offset.

So you basically only rolled the guards, and with a +45 offset, 30 series rubber, it rides fine?

I will have a look around and see what I can find. How wide are your 20's? 20*8, or 20*8.5?

[sismic]

no more then 8.5 wide?

is there any other shops on the net that have a nice big gallery for me to browse through?

If you only like to browse through different wheels try the following:

More and more people seem to like that look - not sure why. 20"s just don't look right on the Euro.

r u serious i think they look ultra mad

i suppose each to there own

[davidrotheray]

Wow, they really look like 22s or something, lol

I didnt think 20s looked 'that big' on the euros, wow, lol, or maybe its just that rim that make it look bigger then it is?

Maybe I should go 19s?

Can someone post up a pic of 19s on a euro, and one of 20s on a euro, please (prefarably taken from same angle so can compare difference - yea i know the difference is 1 inch incase there is some smart ass's on here)

Thanks guys

[JunYu]

lol yeah i think 19's is top for the euro!

Mr747 has the same wheels as siknis in 19's! search it

[honki3rider]

i think the rims look HUGE because of the low profile rubber bands on them.
id hate to ding a rim driving into a pot hole..
