FD/FN2/EP3 Wheel Setup Guide

[aero]

Looks ok in pictures, but not so great in rl imo. Friend has 20" black version of them on his bmw. Dish looks good but to me the style doesn't look that great.

[evolution]

Car Model: FD1 on Work Emotion (Forged)
Front Wheel and Tyre Size: 17 x 7.5 +30 and 215/45/17 Toyo Proxies 4
Rear Wheel and Tyre Size: 17 x 8.5 +33 and 225/45/17 Dunlop Direzza
Suspension: Tein Lowering Springs
Guard Modifications: Rear guards rolled
Issues with Setup: Only Rear scrubbing with full load and hard turning. Waiting for SPC front camber bolt and Ingalls Rear Camber Kit to see if more -ve camber will fix it

Just an Update:
I got the front SPC camber bolts and Rear Ingalls Camber kit installed and sent the car to be aligned
Came back with
Front Camber Left -0.50 Right -0.48
Front Caster Left +6.35 Right +7.11
Front Toe in Left +0.1 Right +0.1

Rear Camber Left -1.22 Right -1.26
Rear Toe in Left 0.0 Right 0.0

Result = No more scrubbing on hard turns! So far anyway. Have yet to test on full load

Would a 17 x 8, 35 offset rims fit nicely on 08 Civic FD1? I currently have 17 x 7, 45 offset rims with 215/45 17 rubber and just not sure if I can run the same rubber size due to the difference in width of the rims. Thanks in advance

u should be fine with those specs and tyres. just stretch ur current tyres onto ur new wheels. it'll look tough! take some pics as well

i would assume you'll be having scrubbing issues with the tyres in the rear, so ill say 1 finger gap at most, fronts on the other hand you can go pretty low

Your tyre widths are the same as mine, but offsets are slightly more agressive. I would agree with stig that you might get scrubbing on the rears.

Even now after adjusting my camber, I will scrub when turning slightly hard on uneven roads with full load. Other than that no scrubbing.

I'm running Tein S Tech springs with a 1 1/2 finger gap

u may also want to get some thinner tyres on the rears and roll ur guards. that can help with scrubbing.

will 18x9.5 +30 work? lol... im really waiting on ekdez to fit his 20x9.5 +30 wheels on his car to see if it can be pulled off, before i get a new set of wheels. thinking of running them on 225/40 or maybe 215/40s.. also need a camber kit to tuck the wheels in. anyone know what camber kit will allow me enough negative camber? i don't think the skunk2 ones will do it

[Stig]

9.5+30 all round?

try spc rear camber kit, the bushings are better than the skunk2
