^^^ I dont think the DR can be considered light weight...

18x9.5 comes to 22lbs
http://www.evoxforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=63307

if you compare with say enkei rpf (which is a cast wheel as well)
RPF1 in 17x9 is 16lbs and in 18x9.5 is 17.2 lbs

EDIT:
if you compare to say TC105n 17x9 is 15.8lbs and 18x9.5 is 17.9 lbs

We can also add Enkei RPF1 17x9.5 +18...

I came across scotterson's old FS thread and both he and ASASN21 verified they will clear the 3G brembos.

Thank you for this helpful thread!

I am now fully convinced about the Forgestar F14 19x9 +25

iTrader: (2)

Just got the NT03s and they are indeed light.
They weigh a slight fraction more than RPF1 at the same spec HOWEVER are much stronger due to design.

18x9.5 +27 = 19.4ish whereas the RPFS will be 18.1ish?

+27 DOES NOT FIT, don't be like me and have your calipers shaved off by the wheel.

paperboy42190

iTrader: (7)

my friend recently was installing bbk on his civic. wheel was touching the caliper so he started shaving the inside edge of the caliper(close by the hub). after about 2-3mm of shaving, brake fluid started leaking from a pin sized hole that you literally cannot see. needless to say, he abandoned the bbk idea

o4Komodo

iTrader: (2)

No leakage for me so far.

Racing Hart CP-035R 17x8 +38 (does not clear brembos - used a 10mm spacer and clears it.. it will clear non-brembo with no spacer)

paperboy42190

iTrader: (7)

you should be fine, i think the bigger brembo calipers have a thicker wall. he had a wilwood caliper that is smaller so i assume the walls were thinner

silvrbreez

If the Enkei NT03 9.5" +27 doesn't fit and shaves the caliper, why is the 9.5" +22 on the list? Did somebody make a boo-boo on the first page of this thread? If you were recommending a 5mm spacer in your thread, should the recommended specs be at least 9.5" +33 or so? Tell me if I've got my offset math off again.

silvrbreez

Just checked Enkei's site and the options for 5x114.3 NT03 are below...
17x9.5 +38 20.1 lbs (Hyperblack)
18x7.5 +37 18.5 lbs (F1 Silver)
18x8.5 +38 19.6 lbs (F1 Silver)
18x9.5 +27 19.9 lbs (F1 Silver)
18x9.5 +40 19.4 lbs (F1 Silver)
18x10.5 +30 21.0 lbs (F1 Silver)

I'd like to see somebody running a staggered set of 18x9.5 +40 & 18x10.5 +30.

paperboy42190

iTrader: (7)

your math is backwards. +22 is +27 offset with a 5mm spacer. spacers SUBTRACT from the offset. and btw 27+5 doesnt equal 33 lol

FCVadi

iTrader: (3)

@Paper, how do you like the Type-Fs? I see them on online but they always sell them staggered.. and at the large sizes.. I cant find a good deal for 18's


does NT0318x9.5 +40 clear brembos?
and if you go staggered it will not help perfrmonce... now I dont know if it will hinder but going 18x10.5 on the rears does not sound like it would be good for performance

however that setup will look great if you dropped and -4 cambered

silvrbreez

Yeah I kicked myself for the 27+5=32 after the fact. Guess that's evidence of my brain being fried after doing math all day.

As for the offset with a spacer, I get the +27 with a 5mm spacer is in effect +22, but all that's doing is making your wheel mimick a wheel with a larger distance between the back of the spokes and the hub mounting face.

Without a spacer wouldn't you need a wheel where the mounting surface to the hub is farther towards the face of the wheel in order to clear the Brembos. In that case, wouldn't you want the +33 min offset? To say it another way, if +27 doesn't clear, isn't it pretty much guaranteed that a lower offset won't clear either?

I'm asking. Still trying to sharpen my skills on offsets. It's good to be able to tap into guys like y'all that have gone through a good bit of wheels to learn this kind of stuff.

Here's an image I reference.


Yeah, I wouldn't go that route, but I would like to see it. I have no interest in have major camber and I'd personally honestly prefer to stay with a square setup.

it truly comes down to the wheel.. the 04-05 OEM wheels is +45 offset.. i think Ville is rocking the rpf1 +45 with 5 mill spacers...

its how the spokes bend outward or away.. or just general clearance of the outward spokes of the wheel

i thought my +38 wheel would fit but I had to get 10mm spacers.. and now I am like 1mm away from the brembo.. I was so pissed when I had the tires swapped... but my mistake.. I should have test fitted first.. it looked like it would fit but the inner side of my spokes is thicker than the outer side of the spokes

Rules and Legend:
If you are unsure of the weight of the wheel, please highlight theweight in red font and hopefully someone on here who knows the actual weight willcome on here and correct it.

Wheels that do not clear the Brembos will be highlighted inDarkOrchid font. This information will be useful to perspective buyers so thatthey know what size they can not fit.

Also, lets keep this list in alphabetical order in the case that this listbecomes rather large. It will make the information on here a heck-of-a-lot easierto find.

HYPERLINK pictures, don't post photos on the list.

I'm thinking to order this set up for Work Wheels Meister S1R

18x9.5 +29 A DISK (front)
18x10 +24 O DISK (rear)

Is this a good recommendation?

FCVadi

iTrader: (3)

meaning what exactly? does it look good? fit?

It should fit but you most likely have to roll and maybe either camber or pull

does it look good?... all that matters is if you like it

if you meant light weight then I would say no

bassheatwave

I've decided to go with the same Work Wheels Meister S1R 18x9.5 +20. What I meant to say is would that set up clear the Brembos or would I need to use spacers on my 08 TL-S... The car is lowered on Tein SS. I'm planning to max it as much as I can coming spring. I also got a camber kit which will be installed when I get the wheels.

swoosh

iTrader: (5)

^^^ dont get me wrong dude but this is not a fitment thread....this is a thread for lightweight wheels....

if you are BENT over the S1R, get the offset you want and work with spacers....I wouldnt decide the offset of a expensive wheel like that...the S1r, IMO, only looks good in a few offsets...so get the wheel you like and add spacers...

NOW if being lightweight was your priority, I would work with offset and say NO to spacers

NOT FIT:
Enkei Nt03s 18x7.5" 37mm around 20lbs (test fitted for the heck of it.)

Hey I know it's an old post "frowned upon" but I have a UA7 Type S so this thread is what I'm looking for. Was wondering if you know if: Vordoven Forme 1 19x9.5 +22 will fit our cars, and what tires you'd recommend, not going for a stretched rubber band look, I like form and function. It's my daily. Thanks.
