Post Picture Of Your Current Wheels

[RedSiBaron]

haha ^^ nice...but you really shoulda sold them to an em2 guy...when i did my 5 lug swap i got 200 bucks out of an em2 guy who wanted disks in the rear

ive been looking at those xxrs for my 240 though, i like them a lot...biggest issue is i want to run some MEAT on my wheels, but want some lower offset, but i also dont want to run extra camber over a degree or two and definitely dont want to pull my fenders...its a tricky situation

Those are my fronts, my rears are up for sale on an em2 forum haha

If you get 9 wide you can run 225/45 and it'll look great and have some more meat then mineee hahaha

I only have -1.9 and don't rub and have crap clearance compared to a 240

Thank you, I'm really pleased with it as well

it looks really good. im still on the fence between 205/40 and 215/40 for my 17x9s, I'm leaning towards 205 now. what offset are your wheels?

[ep3jd]

It really depends on the tire man. This is the third brand of tires I've stretched. Nitto neo gens, dunlop dz101, and these falken 912s. The dz101 had the most stretched look, second was the 912s, then the nittos. Check out tyrestretch.com to make a decision.

The offset is +25

No I completely agree. They look amazing on Tiger's car. A lot better on his than mine. Looks like he has his suspension in a better position than I did also.

[hondafrk]

Just put my new wheels on today. I still have to add a little more camber in the rear and in the front, they are rubbing a bit yet..... I even rolled the fenders in the rear and they still rub on hard left turns....

2" Neuspeed Race springs drop. 17x7 Momo Corse RPM in silver finish, Yoko 225/45/17 tires. I think it looks pretty good. Much better than the old 15" works knockoffs I was running before.

Oh, sorry for the crappy cell phone pics..

If you guessed the offset shouldn't you know the width? :confused: lol

My guess is 17x9 regamasters with 215/40 tires.

Tires are so hard to guess, I could be wrong lol

Hey:gheyf: I'm running 205/45

Correct, they're a 17x9 +18.

Running 215/45 Yokohama S drives all round though...

I might drop down to a 205/45 and 205/40, if they do not fit well...

[ep3jd]

205/40 should be sex

name of this Rota and do they offer 17x8.5 in 4 lug?

[ep3jd]

They're grids, IK-R, or grid offroads, they come in 17x9 in 4x100. Not 8.5

And I think the offset is +20 for the 4x100, not +25

[ace of spades]

damn.

[ep3jd]

You can get 17x8 but they're not concave :mcry:

http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/i343/guttatrong/fe46f06b.jpg

Hey dude, great stance! looks awesome! So just to confirm, your running a 17x9 + 20 offset with Rota IK-R's??? and your rubbers 205/45 correct?? You rubbing???

[ep3jd]

Yeah, that is correct. He probably has a good roll and you can tell a few degrees negative camber.

[jed_averill]

Which color for Grids matches SSM?

[ep3jd]

Everything works on ssm but white and gunmetal look great.

[jed_averill]

White as in you gotta paint it? Haha. Gunmetal is one of my favorite colors.

[ep3jd]

They come white. Depends on what size you're looking at though.

[ep3jd]

http://tapatalk.com/mu/d036232e-eb0f-66cd.jpg

[EP3CHRiS]

Yeah, that is correct. He probably has a good roll and you can tell a few degrees negative camber.

Thanks, i wonder if i can pull this off without rolling....and i kinnda figured that he is running camber. Are you running Racelands?? and by the looks of it, your running some camber too, what camber kit??

[ep3jd]

"natural camber" from lowering on stock arms. My kit was frozen so I just put stock rsx arms on and it gave me a good amount of negative camber.


Yes I have racelands.


No I don't think you can pull it off without a roll. At all.

"natural camber" i see, thanks. So looks like i gotta roll my fenders.. not to much of a big deal, i thnk it looks grreatt.

[ep3jd]

Mine?

[EP3CHRiS]

Mine?

both look great, yours and the black on on the IK-R's, why your not rolled??

[ep3jd]

Our wheels are the same. IK-R and Grids are the same wheel. Its all just size dependant. IK-F & IK-R are just for reference on staggered wheel set ups. IK-Front IK-Rear. No matter what they are still Rota Grids.

Because these wheels poke a lot, you need to either roll your fenders, or have lots of wheel gap and lots of negative camber. Your choice.

[ep3jd]

Meant don't, not doing. Lol

I don't know. 3-4" maybe

[EP3CHRiS]

I don't know. 3-4" maybe

awesome. I'm just trying to gather up some information to hopefully start my set up soon....most likely gonna run a similar set up to yours, but will see what happens... I noticed that you put some kinda lip on there..got me thinking....thats not Volvo, nor garage door lip, so what is it??

[PatrickJamesYu]

I think its the accord lip

[mitchlikesbikes]

I think its the accord lip

this is what i was thinking

[jed_averill]

How many lips can the fit our cars lol

Pat you still sell those things on your sig? Just wondering.

[EP3CHRiS]

I think its the accord lip

never even knew there was such thing.....haha, ill stick with Volvo. lol

[ep3jd]

Yeah its the oem CD5 lip. By far my favorite retrofit lip on the ep3, along with that cupra lip. But I think that one is super tiny. This one is a nice balance

IMO :TEHE:

It does actually look decent, its growing on me...say, how hard is it to find one of those?? Can you be specific with the year of the Accord. Maybe i'll have better luck finding that up here in Canada than the Volvo lip

[ep3jd]

Its from a 1995

[ace of spades]

Its from a 1995

I was going to say that. I had a 97 CD5 and I don't think the front lip had that wide of a cut out in the center. better looking than the Volvo lip...

so a 94-95 CD5 would be the same lip.

[ep3jd]

Mhm. Thanks lol

why not??

Wait, i'm sorry. I retract my statement.

Goodluck, the lowest i've seen is 17x9 +22, and I'm pretty sure the extra 2 makes a huge difference at that point.

All this talk about grids, I saw the SUV ones on a truck in-person for the first time today.
It was on a dark charcoal newer gen Toyota Tacoma with bronze SUV rota grids, it looked really really good.

Yeah. MB Weapons. I only took a quick glance at 'em from my phone.

I never realized Weapons were 57S reps cuz when I see them, they're always on a 240, with a lower offset. :tehe: They look good though! They look better than Rota's version, IMHO. I have reps of them myself, buy I can guarantee than nobody on this forum has 'em. :shady:

Besides that, the Mugen's have their distinct webbing design between the spokes and between each lugnut.

Mugen GP =/= MB Weapon, which is why most people go for them or the Rota SDX I think it is when going for a Mugen Style wheel. Althought they ARE similar, they are also different looking. In person it's a night and day difference.

The webbing is a much more prominent feature in the design than a little lip is that you're talking about.

Although the pic has darker lighting AND a darker bronze finish, I STILL see the lip between the spokes and barrel. :mangel:

[nmysiismyn]

... i think the MB truck wheels are the best products they have.

Yeah. My buddy, who's been a manager at ATC told me about them before they even introduced the line. He was told that they may or may not make wheels for passenger cars. They obviously did, but truck wheels str definitely their main focus.

I bought them in pairs, approx 2 mths apart... Black pair is the original black. The silver ones were originally gold, unfortunately the seller painted them silver just before selling them to me.

Hell yeah, easy

[MBaG]

Hell yeah, easy

Not sure about easy.

[PatrickJamesYu]

Not sure about easy.
Well yeah, stock ride height it haha

No but, super stretched tires, camber, then I think it'd be set.

an 8" +0 is somewhat easy to rock in my opinion.
This is a 8.5" +15.
15mm is about .6 inches, so as far as poke, it's about the same

It takes some work, but I don't think it's too difficult for this set up

I think you need some negative camber to pull off wheels and tires, like this.
But I think it could look pretty good.

I forgot to ask when I went for an unsuccessful alignment on saturday (ran out of toe out adjustment), but it looks to be around -1.5ish.

Can be found on yahoo jp? A few for sale here in australia too, really cheap! Not too sure if you guys get them popping up as much as we do here???


Those 245/40 on the 8 wides look surprisingly great

I agree!!! I initially thought they would be really bulgy or too wide. The tyre/tire looks less wide once it went onto the wheel.

But yeah "tuner" lugs are meant for aftermarket wheels

i couldn't ever find any ball seats at autozone here, they were all conical.

i have s2000 CR lugs, which are shorter oem lugs that are powdercoated black straight from honda. it's hard as F$%K to find ball seat lugs anywhere in honda thread specs, since everyone driving a honda looking for lugs needs them for their les schwab "tuner" wheels haha

[Andieldiablo]

You might be right but it is running fine so far

he is right, most after market lugs are acorn. stock honda is ball seat. what will happen is u'll dammage the stock wheels to the point to where u'll make it basicly become acorn, or ur wheels will fall off because ur not allowing a propper sit i.e so gapage between ur lugs and wheel. as far as finding ball seat tuners, i've never seen any but i;ve herd u can order them, they just hard to find

[powdbyrice]

i dunno if this will work, but see the pic on mackin's FB page: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150219282279471&set=a.334207914470.154895.334118654470&type=1&theater

Thanks for the information guys. I guess I need to find myself some ball seat lugs. I don't really care about having tuner lugs, I just want to have my wheels held on correctly. These and some other tuner lugs are the only ones I have right now. But I am going to go get some other ones.

Whoa whoa whoa. I bought the my car 4 years ago with them gorilla lugs on and haven't had a problem. You mean they can fail on me at any moment? I got Rota Circuit 8 wheels. Or is it on stockies only? And if so, is it on the EP stockies in particular or do all Honda OEM wheels use the same type of lug?

I speak from my experience and almost losing a wheel on the highway. Check your wheels. If the whole is conical then get conical lugs or tuner lugs as they are called. If the whole is a ball socket get ball seat lugs which are OEM. My car road fine for a while but then it almost failed. Ticking time bomb IMO.

[mitchlikesbikes]

your rotas are meant for aftermarket lugs.

Cool, I'm gonna double check mine for sure.


Oem wheels, oem lugs.

Aftermarket wheels, aftermarket lugs.

So will OEM wheels always be ball seat and will different aftermarket wheels have different types of aftermarket lugs?

I guess it's safe to just double check oneself before going out and getting some lugs. Good looking out fellow hatchers!
