EK9 Replica Wheels will fit ?

[xtrem57]

Hi everybody !

First of all, sorry for my english, I am french so I will do my best !

I currently own a CB7 sedan with F22 and 4WS
I want to buy new wheels for my car, but I am not sure they will fit on my car...

http://shop.12tune.com/browse-by-par...da-models.html

Stock wheels: 15*5.5 +50
Futur wheels: 16*7 +42

From what I read allover the forum, I will think I will need spacer + Extended wheel studs.

But what size ?

Thanks in advance for your reply

If the bolt pattern is 4x114.3 they should go right in, The offset sounds good to me I'll let some of the more experience wheel guys chime in though.

Yes bolt pattern is 4x114.3

With the Offset calculator here:
http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp

I get:
Inner Clearance: 11mm LESS
Outer Position: EXTEND an extra 27mm

So I think a spacer of 10mm will be good !

But with this, the wheels will have an Outer Position of 37mm. Is this to much ?

Well in that link you can select the correct lug pattern... So its lookin good.
Ahh bet me to it.

I have had wheels with a +42 offset on my car with no spacer, and I only rubbed the inner splash guard (the plastic fender lining) when I turned the wheel almost all the way. You SHOULD be able to use those wheels with no spacers... though the 10mm spacer should work as well.

I am not fond of spacers, personally.

It should fit without any problem... if it does then all you need is a 5mm wheel spacer.

Those wheels look nice.. I wonder if they are avialabel in the US?..

I dont have a problem with spacers ( though not a fan of wheel adapters ) but 10mm is a LOT to space a wheel out, LOL. Im in agreement that 5mm should work fine and is not near as severe. GL

Mike, your wheels were 7.5" wide, correct? That's going to account for some of the rubbing.

I had 17x7 with a +40 offset and never had any inner fender rubbing. I had always heard on a 7" wide wheel, +42 was actually pretty ideal as far as offset was concerned.

A 5mm spacer is going to put you at +37 which depending on your ride height may result in you rubbing your outer fender lips.

I would test fit them without spacers first, then address the need if you see fit.

I think you guys missed this...

to OP: is your car lowered? if so, how much of a drop?

[xtrem57]

@deevergote: I don't like spacer too.
So I think I will buy those wheels and try without spacer! Will see

@HATCHing: Thanks! I don't know for shipping to US, but you should ask 12tune, they reply very fast.

@Accord214: Good question to ask! Currently the car is not lowered, but it will be soon. I plan to buy Bilstein B4 or B6 with H&R spring ( -40mm ).

@xtrem57: do you have a members ride thread? im really really interested in the 4ws cb. ive been thinking about doing something like that with the prelude parts but if there is a cb with it i need to know. thanks.

Hey I'm planning on getting some new rims on my 1990 Honda Accord EX Coupe.

Here are the specs of the rims I'm looking at
Size: 15" x 6.5"
4x100/114.3
38mm offset

Inner clearance says 1mm less. is that good or bad? and outer position says "EXTEND an extra 25mm"

The offset is a little low compared to an OEM wheel, but the width will work on your favor for the inner suspension.

Basically what it means is that you will be 1mm further away from the inner suspension. The wheel will be 25mm closer to the outer fender.

You shouldn't have any problems with these wheels on a 6.5" wheel, but the worst case is that you'll have to roll the fenders.
