What size tire you think would work?

quiXilver · #1 09-28-2004, 09:48 AM

I installed my Tokico HP's with my Eibach Sportlines, and it supposedly gave it about a 1 1/2" drop. (check sig) I just ordered some 17" rims. The one's on my car are 215/40/16's. What size tire you think I can fit under there nicely with no rubbing?

BTW do you think I will need a camber kit for that drop?

I'm pretty sure you need a camber kit when its 1.8 or lower.

Si and HF rotors the same?

Those are good brakes but it will not fit the HF. The reason is because that HF have smaller hubs. So the bolt pattern is off.

You don't need a camber kit, but it's a good idea cuz tires for big rims are expensive. I don't have big rims so I don't need one. In case your wondering... I have 2.25" drop in front with -3 to -1 camber (toe adjusted) and 2" rear with -1.5? to 0 camber (toe adjusted) with good tire wear...

Ok, so if I find some for the HF then it'll be worth it?

Gay..I can't find any for the HF!

find a si and take the brakes off it (front, rear, master cylnider, prop valve, and ebrake cables) that would be worth it

Well i assumed you do because my wheels were butterfly'ing and they're only 14s? I dropped the rear 2.0 and the front 1.8 (neuspeed)

mellowboy · #12 09-28-2004, 11:14 AM

Civic Jim · #13 09-28-2004, 11:16 AM

wanker! lol

i have 205-40-17 o mine with a 45 offset and they fit fine with no scrubbing really.

any wider is pointless really, and any thinner and the rim will pertrude (spelling)

quiXilver · #14 09-28-2004, 11:16 AM

Civic Jim · #15 09-28-2004, 11:21 AM
