New rims
 

No pics YET but there will be as soon as I get the rims Thursday. I ordered my rims and tires from Wheel Workz. They are 17X7 with 205/40/17 tires. Their MSR 089 rims.

I don't have my car lowered, its still at stock height. I won't have any problems such as rubbing will I? I don't think that I will, since my car isn't dropped. But after I lower my car ill need to roll my fenders won't I?

RE: New rims
 

no, it depends on the rim offset to determine if the fenders need rolling. but you're usually safe if it's a normal wheel with a 17x7 and correct bolt pattern.

I got my rims yesterday. The first set I was gonna get was the MSR 089's, black with a polished lip. They sent one wheel the wrong bolt pattern and it was on back order, and it would take a month to get. So I got the gun metal 17" MSR 029's.

sweet civic man, the black on black looks mad :Dhave youdebaged it on the back? if you could add more pics that would be great.i have a slight rubbing issue on my 18's for and aussie spec 08 version. i now have to cinsider downgrading to 17's . im spewin big time.:(

RE: New rims
 

No, my car isn't debadged. I've thought about doing it though.

RE: New rims
 

What are the exact mesurments of the wheels? width, and offset to be precise. AND what size tire?
If 18's are done properly they will fit. Moving down to a 17 is not really needed.
18x8 with a +42mm offset. 225/40/18 tire.

RE: New rims
 

sorry if im not as mechanicaly minded as most of you probably are, the tire size is 225/40 on 18" anz rims. i did have them fitted by a tire specalist who says they meet the manafacturer offset standard tho i highly doubt this and will have it checked on my first service. i would add pics but i am unsure of how to do so, i have some questions and would really appreciate some helpfull fellow enthusiast advice. should i consider rolling the guards? should i look at putting neopreen pads on the swingarms (a good option). or what if i were to lower the car, by lowering the car wouldnt the extra camber on the wheels help prevent rubbing?


p.s i look very forward to hearing your advice and also some of the answers to my questions. Thank You :)
