Any with 17x9 or 18x9 all around? Not a fitment question

EuroRspec · 11-05-2009, 05:55 PM

I'm going to be running a 17x9 +45 or 18x9 +35 all around. Any one else running a similar setup. I will also be running a 245 maybe a 225 tire all around. I know I will need mods to the fenders, but it will handle amazingly.

I mainly want pics so I can see what it looks like. I'm hopping it will look good rather than too small.

Post your pics, and please keep negative comments to you self. Thank you.

Too small? As in the 17" part? It won't if you keep the aspect correct. Is this a track setup?

I think 17s will only look small depending on what wheel it is. What wheels did you get?

I was thinking of getting either Work Emotion CR Kai concave, or Enkei RPF in 17x9.

I've always wanted to run this setup, especially after seeing this TL

^Good choices. I favor the RPF1's over the Works. I think they will look small but good regardless. RPF1's in SBC

TL has 17x9.5 +18 on it, the do look on the smaller side, but still bad ass.

nice wheel choice but 17x9 +45 will not be concave the offset must be a lot lower.

I've had 17x9 +45 and they are pretty concave.

concavity isnt only a function of width, the offset plays a role too. that being said, i think the rpf1's would have a fair bit of concavity at that size.

i am looking into buying a set of 18 x 9 +35 TE's and putting on 245 or 255 tires on them... (maybe 235 if the fenders cant take it)

with -1 degree of camber all around it should handle pretty well. we think alike.

Yes I know that offset has more to do with concave than width.

I want to do 18x9 +35 RPFs with 235, but I don't want to roll or run to much camber.

There arn't very good sources on here for offset/width etc. People don't post much info.

Any one ahve pictures of a 18x9 +35 all around?

northbridge · 11-12-2009, 03:20 PM

i wish i could help. i was looking for a reference when planning what to do with my wheels but like you i didnt find any...

i hope someone pitches in with some good info. it would really help me also.

not my cars

newer gen civic w/ 17x9 enkei rpf-1, not sure what offset
i think they were 225 series tires
they don't look concave at all, just a bigger lip

17x9 et44 work emotion cr kai
the 38 offset they have available should be more concave and should fit our cars w/ 225 tires
i think these civics are running 215 series tires

18x9 et 40 w/ 235/40/18
i tried 20 mm spacers instead of the 15 mm that are on there now, but it was rubbing too much
if i had 225 series tires it'd fit fine, but i kinda like having the extra rubber

245 will be too wide and/or tall
i think 17's would look fine, but your car will be crazy low, especially w/ the stretched tires
