alpine ipod deck
if you were going to ask about the spoiler, i didnt do it, this was my father in laws car since 03, he since put a 1999 olds alero spoiler on it. it actually doesnt look toooo bad lol also, for anyone that is nice enought to photoshop this witha nice drop for me, that would be great! see what im looking forward to next week!

ummmm....just got these rims, not gonna get tsx rims. these are the 8 gen accord wheels made by enkei. 18x8 +55. i wonder when i put the coilovers on, would i need to roll the rears? they look pretty close if i was to put it down 3 inches or so.
ya i didnt realize the pics would be so small. ill take better pics tomorrow.

ya i know. until i can either get a new trunk or fill the holes and paint it, im gonna leave it. anyways so the tires are 235/45r18, pretty tall im just wondering when the F2s get here how do i know without a huge amount of trial and error, where to set them at for some tucking action?
sorry ive had airbags before but never coilovers so im not savvy with them yet.

thanks man. ya im eagerly anticipating the coilovers definitely. as far as the tires, i planned on maybe getting different tires, dont know what size to get. i know itll mess with the speedo, these tires are bang on, i tested the speedo last night so it kind of sucks i may need to get rid of them for max drop. what size tires should i run on these type of wheels?

closest to stock tires, that wont throw your speedo off, is 235-40-18....when speedo reads 60mph actual speed will be 59.7mph...0.5% slower.... but +55...235 might rub on the inside...but when you space them out, they might rub the outside
My suggestion would be for you to get some 225-40-18's...when speedo reads 60mph actual speed will be 59mph...1.7% slower.... WITH SOME 10-15mm SPACERS... and you wont have any rubbing on the inside or outside with tabs cut and fenders rolled
Not sure how you tested the speedo with those tires...235-45-18 will make it so your speedo reads 60mph but actual speed will be 61.9mph...3.2% faster ....aprox 2 mph too slow
I know its not a lot but I would rather have my speedo say I am doing faster that I actually am rather than slower

ya im thinking about getting rid of them, theyre almost brand new though. i tested it by being behind my buddy on his bike, i might be off by maybe 1 mph maybe less from what i saw.

225-45-18.......When speedometer reads 60mph (96.6km/h) actual speed will be 61mph (98.2km/h): 1.7% faster. Its all up to you on how you want them to sit.... recommended size would be 225-40-18 to get the proper look
