it is about offset but also consider the design on the wheel. bbs lms in +22 may not clear tl brembos but te37s in +22 will. if they have a concave face, chances are they will fit better than wheels with a flat face

btw there's nothing wrong with running a small spacer up front (3-5mm) to clear brake calipers

 

Also make sure the wheels do not have a lip. You can do about a +45 (like 3G TL or A-spec) or +40 and they should fit. I tried fitting RH Evos with a +42 offset but they wouldn't clear without a small spacer because they had a lip. I wanted to run without spacers so I didn't get them. My next set of wheels is +35 with plenty of space, of course they don't have a lip either.

If you want to try out the wheels to see if they clear the calipers, your welcome to use my car as a test fit.

 

The rims that I want are Work Emotion CR-Kai. They don't have a lip so it should clear the calipers.

 

Are you lowered already?

 

yea I'm on Tein coilovers.

 

I have some parts for sale for the 2G TL, CL and Av6 platform

I'm letting them go for super cheap as well..

 

Whats Av6 platform?

 

accord v6?

 

Accord.

 

The no lip helps but with that offset, it's very close. If it does clear, it will be very close. If it doesn't, then you can probably clear them with a small spacer.

 

^ I can always use your car as a test fit right Gary? lol

 

i looked into getting some cr kai's too a while back. what size are you planning on getting? they only look good with 9.5in width, the 8.5's and 7.5's aren't concave enough.

 

Ain't 9.5 a little too wide? That's why I'm going with 18x8.5 +32 with a semi concave.

 

9.5 not that wide lol

 

9.5 isn't that wide

I could have had anyone on here a set of Buddy Club wheels 19x8.5 with wheels and tires for 500 no curb rash.

Gary passed on them..

 

9.5 aint that wide huh? Well then that gives me more choices.

Anyway I found a Aspec set on ebay and its the chrome color. But I don't like the black chrome, you guys know a shop or places that can change the color to the OEM gunmetal look cuz I might pick it up.

 

There is a place in Rancho, can't remember the name though when it comes to me I will let you know.

 

unless the offset you have is +12

 

My offset is going to be +22

 

wheels for your 6?

 

No, I was kidding.

I won't get wheels for a while probably at least another year or so.

I have some other things to get in order first.

 

Get your duckies right kev, I hate not having money to spend on my car right now, but its ok, some things can wait.

 

 

Yup, your welcome to use my car as a test fit. I would have loved to use someone's car to test fit when I was buying the BBK. I could have used Todd's car but he isn't on much.

9.5 is wide when your trying to fit them over the BBK. Mike has a lip on his wide rims and they rub his shocks. Your wheels are really going to rub the fender if you have 9.5 width and at least +40 offset with no lip. Because that's the criteria you need for BBK friendly rims. Unless you run negative camber, but that's not for me.

If your looking for A-specs, check these out:

I was going to buy them myself but I've been hesitant.

 

Who's Todd?

Hmmm...those are the set that I want but its the curb rashs on all of the rims makin me think twice about getting it for that price.

Is that person here on AZ? Swear I saw that black CL with those Aspec rims on Azine b4.

 

Thread was deleted, must have sold them

It was probably Vic

 

Vic has 2 3G TLs. And he already sold his set a while ago on the BM

 

Wait I think I know what Black CL, yes he is on here.

 

My cars going to be ready by the end of the month guys. I've been busy putting things in order for it and haven't had much time to be on the site. Hope I make it in time for that sushi meet. See you guys soon. And btw I lost everyone's number i had before cause I got a new phone so I can't hit anyone up really lol. Anyways yea.

 

Glad to hear you havnt lost inspiration man. Really wanna see your car up and going.
