CRX wheel/tires

[SL65AMG]

largest wheel height and width without scrubbing? im not looking to put like 18's on there. actually i want 15x7.5 +40 and im wondering if theyll scrub?

[ash7]

nope... 15, even with a 205/50 will be fine... That's what I"m running, tucking about .5" of tire without any scrubbing issues.

[Papa_Smurf]

didn't u say you has a crazy offset too SL65AMG?

those are pretty low pro arent they?

[Papa_Smurf]

+40 i guess thats crazy....



i ride on stock wheels, so what do i know :rolleyes:

i have stockers too.... but thats why i wanna know what fits.

this is what im looking at:
http://www.nfcperformance.com/slipstream-15x75-4x100-black-p-2008.html

the price is a bit outrageous but thats the wheels i want

[ash7]

they're a lot bigger than 40s like you were talking about.

+40 is a good offset to have, that's not "crazy" or anything. Crazy on a honda is +15 or +0.

a better place to buy those wheels is www.modacar.com, the price is much more reasonable there.

205/50 is the perfect size to run with those wheels.

Got this from H-T this might help when choosing tires


What size tires should I get?

The proper size depends on your car, not just the wheels you are using.

For a CRX, del sol, or pre-'96 Civic, the following sizes are usually best:

13" - 175/70-13
14" - 185/60-14, 195/55-14
15" - 195/50-15
16" - 205/40-16, 195/45-16

For an Integra or '97-00 Civic, the following sizes are usually best:

14" - 185/65-14, 195/60-14
15" - 195/55/15, 205/50-15
16" - 205/45-16, 215/45-16
17" - 205/40/17

This is open for discussion and by no means what you have to get, but as a general rule you cannot go wrong with these sizes.

I he was searching hard for them, but couldn't find them anywhere. So he had to settle for the rota version :cry:

VERY nice man. i like those a lot. 15x8 you say? +24

care to clue me in cuz i havent found any. whats a good site to look for wheels

First decide your price range and style and then I can direct you to a site.



Do you want a "real" rims or a knock off?
Do you want to pay $300 or $1500?
Do you want new or use?

[bigdare23]

here a site with just about every wheel made

http://www.wheelspecs.com/

Decide on what rim you want then go on the hunt!


Like me, I always wanted a set of RS Watannabes/SSR RS-8. It took me about four years (and three sets of wheels) to finally get them for a reasonable price. They aren't in the best condition (thats why they not on the car yet), I got what I want! Now I'm about to pay about $500 (on top of the price of them wheel) just to get them restored to the condition I want them to be in. Dont forget I got to invest in some tires too LOL. Gotta pay to play!!!!

I know this place may (or may not) be in your budget, but check it out for some ideas.
www.jdmland.com

[bigdare23]

Oh yeah, Ken forgot to add his car is 5lug so his rims options are endless compared to out 4x100 setup LOL

[ash7]

.....SSR Longchamps for me

can't find those in a 4x100 though. I'd have to pull a dirtyoctopus and switch out my hubs JUST to run a sweet 4x114.3 wheel.

CRXwolf had a polished set on his rex for a min.

I meant the Longchamp XR-4 :) lol

offset is a little wicked, but +27 is a lot more manageable than the +15 i had earlier this year.

Jarco has those rims all the time..........................just not in your bolt pattern :no:

well i could get a set of NEW rota slips for 450 or so..... so somewhere around that price range. im not opposed to spending 1500 on a set of wheels ....but i hadn't planned on it. as long as they're LIGHT and look good i don't care if they're knock offs or not.

NEW
450-ish
knock off or real idc

Well someone should of told me they were located in CANTON!!!

I would of told ya, but I thought you knew since you stay in that aread.

LOL, nah I'm surprised no one I know has told me, not just you.

Of all the mechanics and import people I know around here, none of them have ever mentioned Jarco. I'm almost disappointed in them...

[C_R_X]

what's the point of wide ass rims? a good 6 or 6.5 will be be fine unless your building a race car

[ash7]

^ it's amazing how noticeable the difference between a 6.5" and a 7" tire is in a hard corner.

Step it up a notch to 8" and lateral grip is a lot better. Although 8" is a little overkill on anything other than a drag car...

I still dont see the purpose on a dd. It's not like you're rally racing or doing mountain runs every week.

[ash7]

What's the purpose/point of modifying your dd at all?

-jonathan

[C_R_X]

mostly looks

If he wants to put wide rims on his rex let him!

[bigdare23]

*sigh*

-jonathan


dont pay him any mind :rolleyes:

[SL65AMG]

if you dont drive it whats the point of modifying it? to look at it in the driveway


im prolly gonna get some 15x7.5 unless i find some 8's that i like

[bigdare23]

Well, I kinda agree with where c_r_x is coming from. Sometimes too much of a good thing can be overkill. I just don't want you have to worry about replacing tires every so often due to scrubbing the inner wall of your tire, or having to adjust your camber because the offset wasn't made for you car. Plus, tire prices are going to multiply when searching for 215s, 225s, or wider. You got to consider all factors before making decision. So wider rims may handle better, but it doesn't mean that they are overall better. Get what I'm saying?


good ol' 15x8 (hopefully you like the look :no: )

here's some other wheels I have in 15x8:

15x8 jeep ravine wheels weighing in at ~17lbs (15x8, +25 offset) vs volk racing te37's at ~11lbs(?) (15x8, +45 offset).

In order to have the same backspacing as stock, ideally you want about a +24 offset in a 15x8. I'm doing this test fitting to see how big of overfenders I'll need and what spacers I want to use with the te37's.....
