Your wheel sizes for FD Civic

[black8thgen]

ahh okay, yeah was thinking 18x7.5 would be best, but wouldnt mind going for the 19s. anyone got an ideal size for 19s?

[kupang]

so 18x7.5 is the best width? how about the offset? and what rubber are you going to use? 18x?x?

cheers

All i know is ideal size for 18 is 7.5. Thats what im getting

18x7.5 probably with adrenaline RE001 due to good reviews. Offset is +42

kinda off the topic but still related.

Looking for some wheel nuts/locks. So far theres Rays, Work and 5zigen. What is the difference between them? Are they pretty much the same?
As mentioned in another thread that FD wheel nuts are 12mm X 1.5". If i get offset +42, will i need to change my length (mm)?

And the PCD holes for any rim size will fit our FDs? Standardized?

cheers

erm.. normally are same depends on what material they use.. if u want a better lug nuts.. try McGard.. the BEST* lugnuts in the world.. all the good nuts are normally OEM from them..

*my opinion.. xD

erm.. offset wont affect the nuts size unless u added a spacer.. then u need to get a longer bolt for ur car..

erm.. our FD's PCD is 114.3.. =)

[Shimian]

what i meant by PCD holes are the 5 holes that goes on the car. Sorry for the confusion. Just wondering if those 5 holes are standardized across all rims. Just want to make sure the wheel nuts/locks i buy will fit over them once on my car. So far Rays is looking good as they are the cheapest compared to the other 2

[Wayne]

erm.. PCD is the holes size.. like 5x114.3 or 5x100.. or BMW's 5x120.. the depth of the wheels will be the offset.. so which 1 r u confusing now? =)

erm.. i think some McGard will be cheaper.. =)

but if u get Work Wheels.. wont u put back Work nuts? =)

[Shimian]

yea so in our case its 5x114.3. What im unsure is that if i get nuts, will they fit into the holes or do i need to find specific wheel nuts? Im looking to get some short 12mm X 1.5".
My wheels are not works. Looking to get red nuts/locks

[Wayne]

normally like Work nuts or Rays nuts.. customer will buy it to match their wheels as same brand.. so if you wheels is in other brand.. then search the universal lug nuts brand.. McGard.. you shall find some from eBay.. =)

yup.. our car is 5x114.3.. just follow this size.. erm.. M12x1.5 will be the size for the nuts.. another 1 would be M12x1.25.. i forgot what's the difference for this two.. but i only saw this 2 selection when u bought nuts in the market nowadays.. =)

[Shimian]

awesome. then ill go for 12mmX1.5" short since its 1 of 2 types going around. My brand doesnt make lug nuts (not that i could find) so im going for Rays in red. Mcgard only makes them in chrome

thanks for the info. Looks like the color is on the tips only. So might look funny when looking from an angle. Ill probably stick with Rays as its the next cheapest thing i could find.

[Wayne]

lol.. ur nuts wont be come out.. u will just can see the tips.. since u want the short type.. the nuts body color is not a matter.. haha..

it will look funnier if u put Rays nuts on the Non-Rays wheels.. =)
