Your wheel sizes for FD Civic

[Buzza]

Hi guys, I've got an FD civic and thinking of getting a set of 18" enkei GTC01wheels. Would like some advise as to whether this size would fit perfectly without causing any rubbing or clearance issues?

18x7.5 5x114 offset 48

[black8thgen]

sounds pretty safe. Although just maaaaaaaaybe there could be inner clearance issues with 48 offset, but i doubt it. seems fine.

Definitely not hitting the guards.. stock height = above guards..

more hints lol:
Can't hear it if window is closed.. and much clearer if there's a barrier or something next to me to reflect the sound back. Plenty of caliper clearance.. these rims have plenty of room for a big brakes kit!

Nothing really seems in the way.. if *anything* then this:



but if it was then it wouldn't be one click per wheel revolution...

I normally have passenger to my left... don't think it has to do with driver side being lower...

Why do I have the gut-turning feeling it may be my cv joint... .. wonder how much honda would want to fix/replace it...


If it was the CV joint... wouldn't it get worse or atleast change if going around a corner?

Doesn't sound like the CV joint. If it was it wouldn't be a click, it would be a slight "boom" kind of sound (best way i could describe it LOL).

Have you actually checked the actual suspension itself? As in take it off and inspect the mounts, shocks etc... I've had clicks before and my shocks were leaking although these were coilovers but u never know...

[.k.]

i believe the scallop process is where your wheels begin to and complete a transformation into a delicious delicacy..

yeah i have no idea ^_^

Thanks... no i have never checked the suspension.. not really something I'm comfortable doing until I see it done once. At least it's not a problem I have problems replicating

Just got a set of AUDM DC5R rims.

All rims are good except for the front right which rubs against the caliper, by barely a hair width so sanded down the caliper a tiny bit now its all clear.

No idea why this has happened as DC5R is also +45 same as a FD1.

anyone bought tyres from tempetyres before? do you have any problem with them? how come their Hankook tyres are so cheap?

I got quote from same tyres in melb from tyres power for $290 each! and tempe tyres selling for $150..

what is the tyres pressure for 18"? or is it depends on the tyres...

[black8thgen]

depends on the tyres. but needs to be 91 load rating if im not mistaken.

I'm deciding between MATTE white or GLOSS white for them. On a black fd2 with full mugen kit btw. =D. just tryna get some opinions between gloss or matte white lol.

[JOhnnyFD]

for my honest opinion.. i wouldnt get white rims for a black car.. would prefer either bronze, gunmetallic, or maybe gold.. and get a glossy appearance instead of matte coz there shiet on da roads tat could get on ur rims and its much easier to clean off gloss than off matte surfaces

tats my 2cents

[black8thgen]

ah, hmmm. fair enough. But yeah i'm pretty keen on some white rims, guess ill go for the gloss =D. btw what colour are ur p1sf on ur fd?
