stock height/aftermarket wheels

[2011speed]

Ive made my decision to not fuck wit the suspension on my pu, not into the whole herrafrush thing anyway.


Just wanna see some speeds with aftermarket wheels but still on stock ride heights. Please include the wheel n tire specs.

So far I'm thinkin about rota boosts 18x8.5 wit a -35 offset on 235 tires wit a little meatier profile to cover up the gap

[shittles]

Boost are for 5th Gen Civics 9" or GTFO... that = what this idiot says on every wheel thread.

going wider tire isn't going to reduce any of the hideous gap unless you go a taller profile tire. Either way, you should at least get some swift springs.

[specvspeedfreak]

aftermarket wheels on stock suspension look stupid.

As u can see i said fatter profile tire.

And considering the speeds aren't too tall stock height, supermarket wheels look decent

[breakfstincluded]

I'm the same way as you.

I live in a pretty hilly area, and the ramps around here can get pretty primal.

I wish I could, but I can't afford any kind of drop. I scrape being cautious enough as it is, everyone thinks I'm making a wrong turn when I go diagonal into a parking lot lol

Koni FSD's when the time comes, with stock springs since that's what they're designed for.

Though new wheels is pretty low on my list of mods, need to get the reliability and efficiency mods in first. Wheels are pretty aesthetic to me.

And it'd be way cheaper to have OEM wheels re-done in whatever color/finish i like in the mean time.

I would love to see what 19s would look like with stock height.
I thing the drag dr-31 might give the car a clean oem look.

But then a taller profile makes the whole damn car sit higher....not good either.

OK, here you go. My car is still stock.

Kosei K3, 18x8.5, +50, 245/40/18 tires

[jeoje]

Looks really good to me. No fender roll required?

[dbrier]

I'm not sure. I rolled my fenders to clear my race wheels/tires. It looks like they might fit without a roll. The +50 offset helps and I don't have any strut rub issues, but it is close in the front.
Here's why I rolled the fenders. Also on stock suspension.
Rota Grid. 17x9, +42, 3mm spacer in the front, rear fenders rolled, 265/40/17 Star Spec tires.

Looks a little wide to me...

[dbrier]

They are.
When they wear out, they will be replaced with 255/40/17 tires and I'll remove the spacers in the front. That should get them back in line with the fenders.

Enkei Raijin 18x8 +45 offset. I love the look of them. Could lower the car but I have no fucks to give about it so..

[doctavus]

@Smooth

Are they factory tire specs? 225/40/18 ?

[SmoothVanilla]

^^^yes factory tire size. Honestly in person unless the sun is shining blindly into the wheel wells it looks pretty decent as far as gap goes.

[Kvo_8]

@SmoothVanilla Looks clean. The wheel gap isn't bad at all being on stock springs

[SmoothVanilla]

thanks. Like I said it could look better if lowered, but the winters and roads here suck shit so I compromise.

[BigK]

Not sure if you can get these in the US Inovit ST15 18x8" ET45 w/Goodyear ASY 2 225/40R18



I can go any lower because of Speed Humps and ramps I already scrape on. Bilstein B6 dampers for me when my shocks die.

[[]V[]addog]

great idea for a thread! hopefully some more people can keep sharing!

[pandita]

I have a strong interest in this as well. Post more pics people n_n

[clintosaraus]

There will be no barfing around speeds unless its the speed protege. Plus thats my autox setup, maximum traction

[pandita]

I don't think it's horrible. It's probably just the offset and width that make them look a little funky, but if it's an autoX setup then who cares what it looks like.

[clintosaraus]

It will look better when I get my coilovers and alignments parts

Did you roll fenders?

Considering; he hasnt been online since September 2017, this is a 4 year thread res for a stupid question that you could/should have just PM'd about (if at all), and you quoted some photo-bucket blocked pics...take your groan and GTFO.
