FYI on 18's. They require 2 things 45mm offset and 215/35 tire size.Quote:

why the 215 Jim?? Wouldnt you want a thinner tire to keep it away from the finder lip??? I thought that was also why you went with 45mm??
Well they don't make a 205 in 18" or a 30 aspect ratio. I'm emphisizing(ms) what the guys that have 18's use to not have problems. I'm sure it is much more common to see 45mm offset's in 18", then it is to see it in the smaller rim sizes. Frankly the only place I've seen 45mm offsets (I never have looked for 18") has been on stock honda/acura factory alloys. Doesn't mean they aren't made, I've just never found them.Quote:

i have a 3 inch drop on 15's i am going to go lower because i have coilovers but i will wait till next year because when winter come can't have the car that low because pot holes in new york will rip your car to shreads
I want to drop my car atleast 2"s or more with 18x7.5" rims, Jim is telling me not to go with a 35mm offset, does anyone have pics of thier cars droped like that while running 18's? Cus I realy need to get an Idea of this so I know what to do.
I edited the above post to correctly reflect what I have been teling him and anyone else. I just got done Pm'ing one of the member's that is running 18's he has confirmed to me that you cannot run 18's with less than 45mm offset. And he's going to either send me pics or post them for us all:deal:
Thank You Jims!
Heres a pic of 18 inch rims and a 2 inch drop. The quality of the pic is shitty but you get the idea.

car looks sweet, altho i am not really a fan of chrome rims. but good effort makes me want to modify my 3g
damn that looks so nice.... that xenon kit makes a world of difference... hey tk have you thought about doing something to the corner marker lens or did you want to keep it stock??? It looks like you darkend the clear part and left the orange..??? Or is it just the light???
its painted to match the car. every modified car has clear corners i thought i would be different.
Thank you soo much TK, I realy wanted to see that, you did exactly what I want to do, sept you wen't with crome rims, I'm gonna run the Xenon Body kit, a Touring Wing, and the 18" 1000 Miglia Spyder's with a 2" drop, and I might buy a second pair of lightweight racing rims sometime in the future, but thanks for the picture of my dream! lol:D
Cut springs about 2.25" w/ 17" Motegi's but after I get my coils I'll probably just slam it to about 2.75". Thats like an inch or less between the bottom of my kit and the ground...LOW-RIDE-ER :D
TK has like the ULTIMATE cruize Accord, he must be gettin all tha chics with that thing, I cannot wait till I start to do my accord.
Waking up the dead here. Throwback from hell... :flip:

Ahhh, I'm down 3 in the front, 2.25 in the rear.:kekeke:Quote:
