Well, those are retrofit accord fogs so technically...they're not "supposed" to fit at all! But yeah, I agree...I had to trim off a little more on the inside to get it to go in more, and then ran a screw from the back on the outer edge to push that part forward.

J.

SUPER CLEAN WDP though...Nicely done!
Let us know how you like those Sunny tires...I stayed away from them because I assumed they were not good quality. Maybe I jumped the gun.

Hey guys I need help w wheel fitment. I sold my wheels bc the wouldn't fit. I bought new wheels and now they won't fit either. They are 18x10 +25 offset. They still won't clear my brembos. Can anyone help me. Of I get a 20mm spacer I feel like they will stick out way to far. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I guess it depends on how much space you need to create. When you put the wheel up to the hub, how much further out would it need to be to allow space for the brakes?

That is what I was thinking...What is the bolt/face pattern design for a dam 25 NOT to clear. That is alot of wheel outward setting, why it won't clear the brakes?

I was going to say, they must have a huge lip on there to not work at that offset. +45's work, no problem...if it's a spoked wheel.

is that a "BRUSHED" on time attack red pin stripe? Beautiful wheel...The stripe KILLS em completely for me. But YES! With a spacer, should clear. I would go 5mm. Are they real deal VOLK? I just hate wheels showing all the universal bolt patterns.

I said "BEAUTIFUL wheel"... minus the obvious. And another question. This time u might actually answer it. Why does it seem like you are getting/finding wheels that have fitment for a TSX/RSX?

9.5, +22 AND a 245 will be tough, but you have coils so technically you can raise the car up a bit to get home.

Biggest factor for you is...do you have any camber kits?!? If not, you MIGHT be able to swing it. Otherwise, bring a hammer and a dremel and knock the front tab out of the way and let the tire do the rest of the rolling

Not really, have it done right.

Rear...with natural camber I THINK you'll be fine.

Apollo, not the greatest pics, but we get the idea...looks pretty good...probably nice and light. Any other reason why you opted for a 17 in this style wheel? Looks a tad small!
