northbridge's progress and planning thread

215 width on an 8.5 wheel? You know there will be stretch on that right? You should be looking 225 or 235 for an 8" width

^ im planning to run a stretch due to how low i anticipate being. the wheel specs may require camber and a stretched tire in order to avoid rubbing.

nice build thread. we should have a section in our forum dedicated to personal build threads, otherwise build threads pop up in the most random sections.

i'm running that exact tire size on my front wheel (17x8.5)... stretch is decent.. i love the look of overly stretched tires, but that's just me.

u plan on putting spacer in your rear or running staggered?

Those wheels will look great, esp that size and offset. Cant wait to see it dropped with the wheels.

Your setup will be hallaflush bro. I can't wait to see that thing dumped, riding dirty. Rocking out some decals like "sweet and low" "daily driven" "flossin" "no fat chicks" "slow and wide turns only" lol

that would be a great idea. i hope a mod sees this and gives it some thought. I also love the stretched look. Should be fun. As for the rear, If i dont have to i wont run a spacer but i may if the front is super flush and the rear is still a bit sunken in.

the MF10's will always look better. Waiting for my coilovers is gonna be hellish but worth it in the end

:shadyhat: *goes to fatlace.com to browse*

you also forgot "no fat chicks, illest or I love your fake wheels" lol. I dont know if I'll run stickers. I always think theyre funny but i dont know if i could pull it off on my own car.

Lol yea I'm not a sticker guy myself I'm too si
Simple for it but I also think they are funny. I only do stickers if I was built by a shop or had them do alot of custom work. I rocked a clean xx tuning decal on my windshield with my ms3 bc they pretty much built the entire thing. I didn't have anything of the shelf aside from the basics.

Curious to see what offsets you go with!

Even tho I think stretching is a little dangerous I'm not gonna send any negative vibes at you bud.

Excited to see what the results are!

his wheel offset is 30

can't wait to see what +30 looks like up front. im about to receive a set of 18x9 +20 xd9's. i wanted to test fit it, but decided to trade for some other wheels.

maybe we should also start a wheel fitment thread with pictures and fitment examples..

Im gonna bring it to get done professionally on the weekend. I am not gonna try and get it on with a heatgun myself esp after some here have tried and had less than stellar results. I think red will look great. The Civics i've seen with the red tails all look better than stock.

Good start man. Can't wait to see some progress. Don't forget some coilovers. Also I would recommend 225 tire, it will handle better.

NIce Setuppp !!! I want PICS!...haha Just got a white 6 spd like you!.

Really liking that front lip :thumbsup:
