will it fit???????????

[88ebrake]

will a 225/40/18's fit on a lxi with stock suspension i belive they are 40 offset

[Magny]

nope, asked a guy at the shop today for size comparisons for my lx and they wont fit. as far as the guy knew, we can go up to 17x7.5's on our cars. if I am wrong, someone show me or tell me so I can know

[Vinny]

So,..........you want to buy wheels for your 3g

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The facts.

wheel bolt pattern: 4x100mm

Required offset: MINIMUM, NEVER LOWER 40mm*

*When do I have to have a offset higher than 40mm:
When you want to run 18" rims or when you want to run 215mm tread width on 16" rims

What tire size should I run:
If it's NOT listed, their's are reason.
The tire size's listed will NEVER rub, nor will any fender need to be rolled as long as the offset requirments are met.

14" 195/60-14
15" 195/55-15
15" 205/50-15 (195/50-15 not proper plus size, too short)
16" 195/50-16 (a tad taller at +2.0%, 205/45-16 is a better choice)
16" 205/45-16 (205/40-16 not proper plus size, too short)
16" 215/45-16 (a tad taller +1.7%, requires that you have 45mm offset rims)
16" 205/40-16 (Technically not a proper plus size, but not off as much -1.9%
17" 205/40-17 (215/40-17 a tad tall at +2.4% requires 45mm offset)
18" 215/35-18 (requires 45mm offset. NOTE: tire is 3.1% too tall)

What rims can I get on the cheap?
Any civic USDM civic or integra rim will fit. Newer civic's can come with 15" steelies. And 15" integra alloy's are a great choice.

haha excactly what i was going to show this guy !

[88ebrake]

so if i do put them on they will rub like hell well shit i was gettin a good deal and now i cant get em =(

[BITESIZE]

Not if you roll the fender wells....

[Jims 86LXI HB]

A 225/40-18 on a 40mm offset will not be saved with fender rolling, it will rub. Remember we are dealing with at least a 7" wide rim to mount 215mm tread width, that extra rim width moves things close to area's that will rub. A 215/35-18 on 40mm offset with fender rolling is extreamly debateable, going by problems experienced over several years by a number of members.

Best bet is to not get yourself into the trouble and not fall for those to good to be true deals. Yes, I know it hurts to pass on a good deal, but it's no deal if you rub.

[88ebrake]

true well damn there went 18s with rubber for 300$ and i live close to the guy so he didnt have to ship =(

[88ebrake]

found out that the tires are 215/35/18 and also when u say rollin the fenders u mean takin the plastic shit out of em cause i already did that so if u think they will fit tell me

[Magny]

no, rolling the fender means to bend the metal lip there on the actual fender itself inward and up out of the way without cutting

[88ebrake]

well what if i got the offset at 45 then i just want 18s damnit

[89cordlx]

They should have listed 205-45-16 sized tires. Thats what I am on right now and they're like one percent larger than stock, it's the best upgrade size imo.

[88ebrake]

well i would get 16s but they are too small if i got couilovers and set em up a lil it would fit right guys

[88ebrake]

coilovers*

[89cordlx]

16's too small? no, they look great. check out my car.

[88ebrake]

yeah i looked they are too small it looks like u still have clearance well if i get coilovers and set it up just a lil they should fit right

[88ebrake]

im gettin such a good deal i cant pass it up 18" motegi mr7 with rubber falken azenis sport the best tires ever for 350

[thegreatdane]

If it's such a good deal then why not just buy them and if they dont fit just sell them to someone else...

[driver89LXI]
