Your wheel sizes for FD Civic

[rk 86 wa]

lol how do you guys afford tires at 18x8 - 18x 9 haha

i thought my 225 45 r17 were snug

[Wayne]

erm.. 8.5 and 9 difference is like "------"

0.5".. =)

Got some Rays wheels headed my way

Specs are 18" x 7.5 and.... [drum roll]..... +35 offset... hopefully will be ok... should be alright, atleast at stock height... but will want to lower it at the same time.. so only balance wheels once.

Looking for lock nuts.. I get that i need 12mm x 1.5 thread thingy... but then there open/closed and whether the "seating" is rounded or flat or whatever the other way is confusing.. [sigh]

[Wayne]

wow.. whats the model? g-games? or gramlights?

[markCivicVti]

yeah g-games 99b. Put my trust in an online offset calculator. If 18x8.5 @ +45 fits them so should 18x7.5 @ +35.

hi mark
- how mcuh for the set
- which tyres u choose
- how much for tyre?

[evil_1998]

noob question...looking at getting set of rims, either 17 X 7 or 18 X 8, both only available in +40 offset.

Knowing FD Civic comes in +45 offset, will the above rims hv any issues when lowered? eg: scrubbing, etc

also can offset be changed using spacers?

About $1800 plus shipping.

Haven't chosen tyres yet. Also still need wheel lugs.

They arrived today!!! Can't wait till I get home to see 'em.

[Wayne]

wow.. 1800 is quite cheap man.. lol.. grab a good tyre to match ur wheels.. hehe.. hope 35+ can really fit nicely on ur car.. dont forget share some pics after installed it.. =)

[markCivicVti]

They blew me away when I first saw them! Weighs in at 9kg... can't wait to wrap it in some rubber and get it fitted to the car...

I'm hopefully gonna try and fit it on the hub tonight.. not sure if I need lugs first or if it can just sit on the hub without them?






Hope it actually fits :P

[markCivicVti]

Well I gave it a try:

Offset much?


Looks weird... maybe cos it's jacked up a fair bit


Looks a lil more promising!


Sits pretty flush... I think!


The rims actually has a chrome/silver lip... I didn't know that till I first saw 'em.



Makes me smile!


I'm a stupid noob and forgot to take pics of the brake clearence.... but I'm guessing thats not an issue.

What do you guys think?

[Wayne]

omg.. nice wheels u have.. make me itchy.. hehe.. try grab some tyres.. =)
