now im planning to run 185/60 on the 7s, but im not too sure about the 8s. 185/60 or 195/60 as id like the sidewall "stretch" to match the 7s. any ideas? offsets are in the +20s

oh and heres a pic.

cheers.

15 x 8 0 offset fits no probs, surely a low profile low AR tire will clear everything on a 14 inch

Post up some pics of your stance because I'm running YSR coilovers too. I'm interested to see how these fit under stock guards. Looks like you'll need a good roll and pull with a lot of camber though.

i have flares on the way too, i will most probably end up cutting wider arches and then bolting flares over the top to slam without too much camber ( too much camber and the flares will look useless)

but i will take some snaps as low as i can go before cutting. (i have thick swaybars to stop guards chewing tyres/tyres ruining guards)

Sorry to have to note this, but someone's grey marketing a lot of wheels from this eBay shop.

I was looking to see what's on eBay and someone selling wheels is now selling them, so just beware that some honda Civic may steal your thunder! Admittedly this seller is pirating some US Civic pics in this case. I suppose it requires someone to buy them, to make yours less unique.

Showing off my rims but don't have the NA to put into a pic.

Have you EVER seen a pic of a MX5 wearing Lenso Dash 15x6.5 wheels?
They are currently on a Corolla which I'd like to substitute for a NA.

How do you think these would look on a black NA8?

Possibly with a white hardtop, for a panda theme.

Well it couldn't last forever now, could it?

BTW they can be had for less than this by importing them directly from the US - and why deal with an eBay seller with 92% feedback if you don't have to?

Hey, thats my mk1 Civic from the seventies!! These babies date from '74 so are getting long in the tooth. My car had Mugen bits from a Jap only 5sp, twin carb, extracters model. I used to scare people with the 0-60 speed in the suburbs. I had rims just like this size (Globe Bathurst) but with gold centres. It was put off the road because the wheel protrudes. You can see the US guy has put discreet flares on.

thanks, im thinking adjustable upper control arms as my rears are maxed out camber and they still dont clear, but i have flares here but im not sure yet really, it might look stupid as they wont stick out that much considering the size of the flares.

but it feels nice with the 8/6 combo, but with everything, its just money, when i get around to saving for control arms ill buy them
