UltraSi · 06-25-2009, 06:07 PM

UltraSi · 06-25-2009, 06:19 PM

how much of a spacer u think ill need??

jdm free · 06-25-2009, 06:21 PM

dont run spacers. the wheels will fit fine with a proper tire size. 225 or 235

UltraSi · 06-25-2009, 06:21 PM

phew i hate the idea of spacers

UltraSi · 06-25-2009, 06:37 PM

how about 225/45/17??

mattyv · 06-25-2009, 06:41 PM

thats a 215/45/17 on an 17x8 45mm wheel. its a bit stretched but it works.

Emerican · 06-25-2009, 06:41 PM

spacers, stock honda/acura rims are like 48+ which are all really high. I had 18x8 +48 rotas with 225 tires and they still hit the coilover in the front
