lol sry abt the load of questions :L

damnnn thats a nice looking ride haha

THanks mate.

The tyres are 225/40/18, yep they are toyos tranpath something or another (sorry havent really checked) with 92 W load/speed rating.

The rims are almost flush with the guards (+35 offset).. so not sure if I can lower it. My ride is stock height.. but on a very slight slope the rear sits only one finger above the tyre... so would be worried about scrubbing with passengers in the back. So far tho no scrubbing - tho i havent driven far yet on them.

Maybe I'll need to get some stiff as coilovers if i'm gonna lower it.

EDIT: It doesn't stick out enough to get done for... so +35 offset is safe.. maybe not with 8" or 8.5"

ahh i see, that looks great though, but yeah seems there could be a problem if you were to drop it =/. im thinking of going 225/40/18 aswell when i get some rims.

since your 7.5 width with +35 fits, do you reckon i could slide in 18x8 +35 and 18x9 +43?

**markCivicVti** · 03-01-2009 06:42 PM

18x8 with +35 would be the max I'd try on that offset... not sure about the other offset mate. Use the offset calculator. Because it sits flush with the guards... u couldn't lower it much unless u roll 'em. And thats not something i want to do.

**denot** · 03-01-2009 10:28 PM

markcivicvti, thats weird!!! mine still have 2-3 fingers gap with the same rim size and tyre size

**black8thgen** · 04-01-2009 12:35 AM

probably cos his was on the slope lol. just added more weight to the rear =]

**markCivicVti** · 04-01-2009 12:54 AM

Yeah it was a very slight slope... with some load in the back, but not to much.

but yeah, if thats how low it is in that circumstance then I dunno if I can lower it.
