ap1 wheels on 05 ep

[shadowmd]

i just mounted these last night along with 25mm bolt-on wheel spacers. i kno some of u are against wheel spacers and what not. i do not plan to drag in these. so when i do go to the track, my stock ones will go on. but im not worried at all about daily driving on these. almost all of my buddies run these daily. they even drift in them (240's, 350z's and a skyline :mangel:) and one rsx-s(doesnt drift, obv.) lol

tire size is 225-50-16 all the way around. the rears rub a lil so my buddy who does body work is gonna roll the inside of the rear quater panels.

but here are the pics!

they looks really good man, way to be different. what was the offset of these again?

[shadowmd]

thanks! i think they are like +52? or something like that

[shadowmd]

plus i got all four wheels for like $200....so i couldnt pass that up lol.

[MugsyTheGr8]

interesting, i ask because you are running the same size tire that i want and im trying to see what range of offests i can run to avoid rubbing. thanks, and again, the wheels look really good.

[cow]

It looks great.

Don't worry on the spacers. They get bad reps from people misusing them-- not extending their studs, etc.

When I get my wheels in the next few weeks, I'll be running 15mm Project Kics spacers in the rear.

[K-Shark]

those look better on the ep3 than the ap1.

you and team_era_5 are buddies now!

[shadowmd]

lol thanks guys.....im really happy with how they look. although i did take them off tonight til sat. cause i don't want them to rub and damage anything until i can get the fenders rolled. but yea again, im really happy

I know, right? I thought they'd look good, but not GOOD.

[civiCholo]

[thisisagame24]

[smoody]

I like it! I like it alot. I think alot of us would had done these awhile back if the offsets wasn't so weird. 200 for wheels but how much was it for spacers and studs?

[team ERA 5]

whered you buy your spacers from?

[team ERA 5]

dang 200 bucks!

i had to buy a whole set for 300 with brand new tires 205 45 16 and then go to the junk yard and buy a pair of fronts and put the rear tires on the front.

I'm still in need of spacer, and wanted to know where you bought yours from?

[shadowmd]

i actually got the spacers off ebay, from teh same vendor all my friends did. here is the link... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/25MM-WHEEL-SPACERS-ADAPTERS-5x114-3-HONDA-ACURA-1_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ42614QQihZ022QQitemZ3 50052199427QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW they come with everything u need. u gotta order two pairs (obv. lol)

[shadowmd]

progress springs and stock struts (rear are starting to show their age, 103xxx lol) (all but 3k were on springs too lol)

Looks Ricey To Me...Not My Style.......

[powdbyrice]

looks fairly clean to me. sc'd k24, s2k seats and wheels. better than some of the other stuff I've seen here.

while the body kit isn't really my style, it was nicely done.

[v1c10us]

sweet, i just ordered those springs this morning and thats exactly the height i was looking for.
I tried to get abunch of people to sit in my car so i could see what i liked, but I couldnt get past an inch and a half.
althought my tires are a bit smaller than yours so mine wont look quite as snug. =\
diggin the wheels though!

[shadowmd]

lol thanks bro. I LOVE THE DROP with these springs. and the ride is NICE!

[shadowmd]

[vtecDave]

those AP1 wheels look great on the EP! Mad props man. :thumb:

did you considder going with a smaller width tire for a slightly "stretched look" to clear the fenders for the rub issue? I know you're not a bandwagon guy, but just curious. I wonder if that would take care of it?

[1SickEP]

looks good...i have flat black RSX rims but never thought of putting ap1 rims on the EP...i might get ap1 rims myself next time!!

[team ERA 5]

finally got my stuff on. i was able to get away without any spacers. not banging whatsoever. it clears everything. spacers come in next week for a more flushed look.

[Honda_boy83]

Looks great, you could roll the fenders with a baseball bat. Oh and you can buy wheels spacers at pep boys.

[Mugen_Power]

[PayneSkillet]
