im trying to figure out what sized LM reps would fit right with an eibach drop. for starters lets say tire size 245/40/19.
looking for lined up/flush fitment as possible

or would these wheels just look bad on eibach drop.
thanks

haha i've been eyeing those for a while, debating between those or some black w/ polished lip instead

go with the lowest spring set available - s techs.
1.6" front and 1.4" rear. i dont rub and only scrape at really steep driveways.
19x9.5 +45
245/35/19

i need 15mm spacers to bring it out on the rears.
front im pretty much flush

either do it right the first time or buy spacers to correct it. in other words, keep researching on how offsets and widths work

personally eibachs arent low enough for me.

jeroplex

my problem the driveway to my garage is steep. i was thinking if i go slightly thicker wheel it would help make the car look lower

defconskylude

use two to four pieces of 2x4 wood on your drive way as a ramp to counter it.

jeroplex

defcon since your on stechs did you do a camber kit with your wheel setup?

defconskylude

nah. i really should but i bought a bunch of guns instead

Nice toys. You should put them on each side of your TSX then it will be one killer TSX. So JDM YO!

jeroplex

any input on tire size? would 225/40 be good?

Rawesome

what are the specs of the bbs lm reps you're looking, and your preference of how you want the tire to look on the wheel, (a little stretched etc.)

jeroplex

im still researching. i would like the wheel to be 18 or 19 in size and without it sticking out or rolling fenders. i think T-jay has the ideal setup as to what im looking for. im looking for a daily driver setup and not too slammed. i was thinking about the eibach springs,but now im leaning to ward the Tein basics or SS

T-jay

Good choice but the only thing I would change is the offset. I would have went with like a 35 offset instead of 45

jeroplex

any particular reason why?

Rawesome

something like this perhaps? linea corse lemans and varrstoen 1.1.2 are also options. but back on topic, the tire size also depends on if you want staggered fitment.

jeroplex

no staggered for me
wouldnt that make the rims sink more?

Terdbath

wouldnt that make the rims sink more?
No the opposite. +35 would be about 3/8 of an inch closer to the fender than +45.

jeroplex

okay. lower the number the more it would stick out.

jeroplex

would this work if they are able to sell a set of 4 with 43+ offset? i dont want to have to roll fenders either

jeroplex

well looks like i cant go for the gold LM style. i cant seem to find one that is 8.5 width. looks like +35 offset with 19x8.5 should fit without rolling fenders. just would have to figure out what tires. i also plan on getting TEIN SS coils.

btw i just sold my civic i have CA$H lol..want to do this asap so bad. =(

ed_423

^ just ask them if you can get the liena corse without staggering it

jeroplex

yea but the offset that might work has a width listed at 10 inches. what offset should i be looking for with 19x8.5 i also dont want tires that are too thin. i want some protection from curb damage. maybe they can get custom specs taht arent listed?

jeroplex

im all confused on what offset i should get...lol. im trying to get 19x8.5 im thinking +40s range should be good on a slight drop on tein ss. would this allow for some meat on the tires? w/o rolling fenders

+40

+46

ed_423

check the black market, someone is selling their used 19's w/ tires

jeroplex

I couldn't find it

tobwac

I have 19" 8.5" offset is 35 tire size 245/35 and im dropped on eibach

jeroplex

i have seen quite a few on +35 any rubbing w/ the eibach? do you have any wheel closeups?

jeroplex

man i posted right when you edited...lol so i contacted wheeldude and can order me gold w/polished lip 19x8.5 +38 offset

tobwac

no rubbing even with 4 ppl in a car the front wheels sit flush but in the rear I can easly put 10mm spacer to make it flush

jeroplex

cool..looks like im going to go with 19x8.5 +38 on TEIN SS..what size tires you think would be good. im not going to slam the TEINS all the way i would like some meat on the tires to somewhat protect from curbing.

tobwac

im not tire expert but most of us here run 245/35 but you mentioned that wanna go with 40 serious tire which is fine but you may ended up having you fenders roll if you drop your car

jeroplex

yea..im looking for the thick tires w/o rolling fender

jeroplex

most likely go with +38 rather than 40

T-jay

very simple fix for that just do a 225 40 19 tire it will clear nicely and also still be thick so you dont have any pothole trouble. Or you could always just buy mine. Im a wheelwhore ready for my second set of rims.

jeroplex

i would if you had a different color =)
will those tires clear the size and offset im looking into? +38 if so i would have to adust the drop accordingly

T-jay

Yea you should clear good with a 225 40 19 they will be a slight stretch but perfect for lowerd cars
