Lowering
okay here's the question.
lowering with neuspeed sports on my 00 coupe i got 17's on my car. ANY PROBLEMS????????? HELP!!!! 215/40/r17 dunno offset of the rim. i offset is very important, can someone tell me a quick and easy way to measure it? |
if this set-up is a problem, what recommendations do you guys have?????? what should i do@!!!!!
|
The offset should be stamped on the inside of the rim. 215's with those springs will probably rub. Do a search for offset. I can't rememeber what the optimal offset is for an 6th gen Civic.
|
ANY RECOMMENDATIONS ON OTHER SPRINGS??
|
different springs wont stop rubbing unless u get like h&r oe sports cause they dont really lower ur car, maybe .25 inch but they stiffen it up quite a bit, those tires are wide, unless u have like a 42+ offset u will prolly rub, but even then i think u will rub, meh u can always try and roll ur fenders or get different rims/tires or just dont lower your car
|
i got eibach pro kit and the drop is awesome, not too low.... and they ride more comfortaable than stock..... but i have 16x7 205/45/16 and i noticed rubbing when i went through a sweeping corner and the suspension damn near bottomed out
|
is a 16" rim with 205/45/16 the same diameter as a 17" rim with 215/40/17 ?
|
I was going to say...I have a recommendation on different size rims :p
IMO civics shouldn't have anything larger than 16" on them. |
Originally posted by civicfighter is a 16" rim with 205/45/16 the same diameter as a 17" rim with 215/40/17 ? Its the width of the tire and the offset that's gonna make you rub. I've heard 40 - 45 is optimal. I'm getting a 43 offset 17" on my EK soon and I have H&R Sports. The larger the offset, the closer the wheel gets to the inside of the wheel well. |
The proper way to do 17's on a Civic is 40 offset rims with 205/40/17 tires. I have this with H&R Sports and the only way I can make the car rub is to make a u-turn with the wheels locked at the traction limit.

If you can't get a 40 offset in the wheel you want, I guess it would be better to have a larger one. That way you could use spacers to push the wheel out if rubbing occurred.
