question is will they fit??

 

[Steven.]

go with 15s, trust me 16s look big on 4th gens, 15s wont mess up your spedo either

 

[TiiM iiS l3eAsT]

alright^^ i was planning on going 15's anyways but since the lip on those are HUGE i thought maybe 15's would look small.....

 

[Steven.]

they have 0 offset, if you got 0 offset, you would need to roll your fenders, and probably get some stronger wheel bearings and studs, go with +30-+45 offset

search for my thread in the wheels tech section about 15X8's

and a couple months ago when i said i was getting a set like that, you said you didn't like them.

remeber the larger(and wider) the rim the more the tires will cost.
i have 4 brand new 205/50/15s, they were $86 each.

 

[TiiM iiS l3eAsT]

alright....and damn that civic that you posted pics of, that looks just like mine....that s**t looks nice with those wheels !!....

what is offset? i saw that stock is like +42?

Hey man I like your subs a lot lol, but your exhaust just seems too angled out for me. How is the turbo project going?

 

[Steven.]

offset is how far the mounting point is from the center of the rim. so 0 offset would be same amount of lip on each side of the mounting surface, +30(for example) would be 30mm(i think its mm) from center

 

[TiiM iiS l3eAsT]

hmm...you think i could fit a +15 offset on the car?

all the sportsmax wheels that i like with a lip are either +15 or +0......

like i said they will fit, but may cause problems. anything with lower offset may cause problems, and will accelerate wheel bearing wear. and trust me when i say, busted wheel bearings suck balls, i have busted quite a few.

 

[TiiM iiS l3eAsT]

know where i can get some stronger wheels bearings and studs? lol

 

[Steven.]

ARP studs, and new OEM bearings.

but i would read more on wheel offset and suspension before committing to buying the.

 

[TiiM iiS l3eAsT]

yea im going to switch out coilovers b4 i get new wheels.....atleast i think

 

[kyle10182]

thats a good idea. OEM wheels are pretty tough.

 

[TiiM iiS l3eAsT]

well started on a wire tuck today.....but still got to extend the wires into the fenders for the headlights, and other misc and still gotta work on the inside to hide the wires......so its NOT finished....im also gonna sand the bay and repaint it white again

the inside mess

anyone know how to take off the fenders to hide the wires in it....or how do i tuck them behind the fenders???

 

[TiiM iiS l3eAsT]

i got the fenders and bumper off today.....started extending the wires .....tomorrow ill label the wires and run them thru the fenders....got the injector wiring done.... but wow this is time consuming lol

 

[Steven.]

i dont think you need to make the same post in 2 threads
