So im looking at the work wheels website, and im kinda curious...

what is the me max wheel size (off set) that would fit on our cars with a 2 inch drop, fenders rolled flush, and minimal camber (1 degree or less) without having to use spacers?

I currently have 18x8.5 +45 all around on 225-40-18s with 10 mm spacers in the rear and im trying to get that staggered look with a wider rim and lip in the rear...

I was thinking of running

18x8 +45 A-Disk in the front
18x9 +25 O-disk in the rear...

any input?

 

I have zero knowledge about this topic lol. I'm just a little curious what are you lowered on? Is it spring or a coilover. thx.

 

i am currently lowered on JDM VIP Insurance Group Springs which have given my car about a 2" drop

 

I have 19x8.5 TSW's with about a 1.5 inch drop. Now I have heard 20's can fit, I stayed in my safe zone with 19's due largely to the amount of crappy roads around here.

 

One more question. Do you still using the oem struct/shock or aftermarket. And how much were the JDM springs?

 

my springs were $480, i have them on my stock shocks...

i would go bigger but its a daily driver and sf bay area roads suck too...

planning to get a second set of rims later strictly for shows and photo shoots once i get air ride suspension...

 

It kinds of pricey for a springs. I might just saving for a coilover.
If you do get new wheels, I'm very happy to take your old 18'' for cheap lol. I'm in SJ, I think it around 45mins away from SF.

 

Hi, I have a local guy selling his Rota Torque 18x8.5'' with an offset of +48mm 5x114 and Linea Corse BBS LM replicas 19x8.5", not sure about the offset, will these fit my 96 RL?Thx.

 

nice! another local!!! yea its kinda pricey for springs, but i didnt have the dough for coil overs, plus, finding springs for our cars is almost impossible, not to mention finding coilovers! i hear alot of the legend and TSX suspension stuff fits, but i didnt want to go that route untill i got more info on it...

for all intents and purposes, Air ride seems like a logical move bases on my kind of driving and my needs, as i would like to continue actually driving the car rather than making her a show queen...

my 18s for cheap? how cheap are we talking? lolz, have you seen pics? if not, here you go!

 

the Rotas will fit no problem, just roll your rear fenders

the Lineas depends on the offset, or ET, and again, you will need to roll your fenders in the rear...

 

As far as coilovers the jdm ones run about 10k springs front and 6k rear. The tsx ones run around the same. Being the rates are linear it really doesn't matter wether you went for tsx or more expensive jdm ka9 ones.

The major factor between the two is a pillow ball type upper mount on the jdm ones vs using oem top hats with the tsx counterparts.

 

I have a question about the coilover. so, if I use the tsx coilover I need to reuse my oem upper mount rite? i'm thinking between the two coilovers here; the new tein street basic no damper adjustment and upper mount or megan ez coilover with 15 levels adjustment and upper mount. i'm planning to get the coilover pretty soon, so i need a little information on this topic. thx.
sorry about the cap. my caps lock and shift button gave up on me. i need to get a new keyboard.

 

ooh thats a good question

 

hey guys I have a question.? Can you fit a 20X8.5 35offset on the Rl with the 5 lug 4.41 inch.? Can you even make this work?

 

You mean 5x114? if so you can "make" it fit with like 2+ degrees of negative camber and some 235 tires probably.

Youll likely rub and have a little poke though. 45 offset would probably work better in that size.







you youll have to use the oem tophats unless you can pay a machinist to modify the ones that come with the complete tsx kits.

 

Cool, thank for the info. It is time to save $$ for the coilover

 

Thanks for the reply Hatch. I did mean 5 lug 4.41 inch but I was thinking maybe their could be some modifying to make it fit. I had a good deal on some 19's with that on the bolt pattern. Ill just keep looking for the right fit of 5x114.
