FS JIC Magic 07 Wheels, w/tires 2 brand new - Club RSX Message Board

 

Wheel brand: Enkei RPF1
Wheel size: 17x9 +45
Tire size: 245/40-17 (brand unknown)
Suspension: OEM stock
Only mounted two wheels shown, so I dont know if they rub anywhere.

 

oOo it's a tight fit in the front. gloss black looks great on the red too. i like

 

and thats actually the matte black you're seeing.......gloss black version
is even more shiny....lol

 

I went with the Spoon Blue color on my Axis Reverb wheels. They are identical to the Advan TCII wheels with the hollow spokes.

Wheels are 18x7.5 +45 with Falken 225/40R18

Overall Diameter is about the same.... Speedo reads 1 mph slower then stock.

Lowered on B&G S2 Lowering Springs. They have a great drop and ride very smooth.

 

Have You got any photos of it in The rear?

 

Spoon CR93 17x8.5 +53 offset with 225/45/17. Depending on the ride height so with stock height no rubbing issues.

I made it flusher with +5mm spacers at the front and 3mm at the rear !

Thanks
Ben

 

Best Looking CRz to date!!!

 

^ Without trying to pollute the thread - this is outstanding. Great idea roddy. Thank you.

Back to pics and topic...

 

I agree. I will "stick" this thread.

 

17x8 235/40/17 +45. Rubbed on the front inner fender liner over bumps at full lock selling the tires and getting 225's or 215's. stock height.

anyone want to chime in on some experiences or anything. Maybe 225's are what i need. Im also looking for a lighter tire. the kuhmos i had were 24 lbs per tire! yikes.

 

I like very few aftermarket wheels, but I actually really like those first three that Roddy posted. Especially the first set, do they come in 16"?

 

Man, those Work Meister looks good. Lowering the car even more would amazing!

If you have no rubbing problems, then this looks like about as good as you can get for a drop and big wheel/tire set-up. Well done!

I found this website that helps you analyze proposed wheel and tire combinations:

Custom rims, wheel tire packages for your ride - RIMSnTIRES.com

 

^ the best fit and look I have seen. Very well selected.

 

Thanks Scotty! It does get a lot of looks on the road now, my son is 13 and thought it was so cool when we drove through a gas station parking lot and everyone was checking out the car and pointing. I have tint on it now and I think it looks even better... too bad I couldn't get pics with that on, it's been raining nonstop here :cursing:

Anyhoo, not to hijack the thread, but thank you for the kind words!

 

Very nice, does anyone know if the white cr-z is deeper and how much?

here is mine with 9x18 ET 35 and 225/35 in the back......

 

Hi Max,
Are you saying that yours rub in the back? All the CRZ's use the same sheet metal regardless of color. If I read this corredtly, you are tunning 18x9" wheels with a 35 offset... Those wheels are a full inch wider than mine and offest 10mm more to the ouside, so they would stick out almost 1,5" farther than mine do, and I am pretty sure those would rub on my car too,

 

besides diameter, i'm running close to that size in the rear, but on different suspension.

max looks like you're running stock height? more info please. more pictures too.

 

Sorry it took so long Roddy, needed to wait until I got on my computer on the weekend.

Had 20mm spacers on back for a while, but didn't like the rub during large dips or bumps so have recently removed them. Continuing to lower again without spacers, but haven't found the correct height yet.

NOTE:
Rubbing in the rear seems to be primarily due to the rear fender securing screw mount at the top of the wheel well. This is problematic even when/if trying to roll them as the large piece of plastic holding the rear bumper will need to be pushed out quite a bit or ground down which is not ideal. This does not exist in the front fender well and should not be an issue if front rolling is necessary.

Hoi, i ran a 235 and felt some rubbing when going over bumps at fukk lock. The rubbing was at the front fender liner at about the 2o clock position drivers side theres a boxy chunk that comes out. I think it was that. Do you have any issues?

No I don't have any rubbing in either front well yet. I'll have to go check out the 2 o'clock area. Still need to do a final drop after removing the rear spacers and then sync the front. Will post final height after.

updated my post on Page 2 with Pics. finally got them installed.

 

Question Peeps, I want to go with the widest tire on my stock rims. I have the 16" base wheels, Any ideas Thanks Chaz

 

tirerack.com - they will break it all down for you. pick a tire, look at the specs and it will tell you the min and max width wheel it will fit on. unwise to run a wide tire for no reason though. the crz doesnt need super amounts of grip. (that cant be obtained with a stickier compound vs a wider and heavier tire)

btw this is a wheel fitment thread, not one for tires. fftopic:
