New Wheels: Question

[CBURKE]

Jwood88 yes they do, i had them on my integ and i would hit my 50sht right out the hole and it would lock and go. i would get a nice black or gun color wheel and stay at 15 to 14 just if you wanna lower the car. if you get 16 to 17 it is hard to get a 185 to 195ser tire that will not hit the finder, but if you get 14's or 15's get the azenus (falken) they might not last as long as you like, but at 50 to 60$ a peace who cares.

YES, those are like my dream wheels. i think gunmetal wheels would look sweet on ice_x's 4d

[icE_x]

i don't think they'll hit the fender unless i lower the car

and is graphite another name for gunmetal? cuz they offer that color as well

[turtlecrxsi]

I think graphite is light grey but it's probably similar. Gunmetal is the same as Gunpowder Grey or Anthracite.

[CBURKE]

your not gonna lower it?
yes graphite is like gunmetal well kinda, both look good.

[icE_x]

i probably will, but i don't know how far i'll be able to lower it before the tires start scraping the body of the car

[90Civic4G]

You can have 16s on a 4th gen and still lower it...you just won't be able to go down much.

[CBURKE]

or turn lol j/k yeah you can just cant have anything bigger then 185ser tire. i think right? i would rather go with A 14 and a 195/50

[90Civic4G]

Can you buy 14'' rims that aren't wires? The lowest import performance rim I've ever seen was a 15. I think 14s are a bit too "mexican."

[icE_x]

i think the wheels come with 205's on em, toyo proxies - is that a prob?

[CBURKE]

yes 205 is to wide.

and what is wrong with mexican wheels? you telling me you don't like the deep dish 5star that sticks out so far you could drip over the wheel, a u turn is a 5 point turn. i love them.......j/k ;oP-----

There are some that would say 14s are fine... like my 1986 CRX Si rims that weigh like 9lbs... and let's do some math... that's uh, 18 years old and I have put them through some abuse and they still spin like new...

205 is fine for 16... that's why they sell 205/40-16s...

[CBURKE]

yeah but the wheel well is not big enough for that size tire. it's to wide it will be lined up with the fender

Are you sure about that? We're talking about 10mm which is 1cm. Plus, 4g civics have a decent flare to their fenders anyway. I think it depends more on the rim itself and how decent the struts are. If a 4g can fit 205/40-17s with a slight drop I'm sure the 16s will work.

I have 17" TSW Revo's with a 40mm offset and 205/40/17 tires lowered 1.5" (about, maybe a hair less) and I never rub on my fender or anything.
