Got some questions for you all!!!
I am looking to buy some 18x8" Konig Flight wheels soon that have an offset of 45. What size tire would be good for this? Could I drop it 1.5" and still have clearance w/o rubbing or anything? Any comments on this setup or wheel?
Thanks! |
What year/model car are we talking about?
Let me guess.. I think you had a 98 Accord?? |
1995 Civic EX Coupe
|
IMO 18 x 8 is probably asking for trouble. With the extra rubber you need, it'll be cutting it too close. Even with a 45 offset.
I'd try real hard for 18 x 7. Maybe 18 x 7.5, but the 18 x 7 would be ideal. For the tire size, aim for 215/35. |
Thanks! Do you know where I can get some pics of some Civics or Accords w/ Konig rims. Preferably the Imagines, Verdicts, and the Rhythms.
Thanks for your help! |
You could check out the *Featured Car* section.
The Photo Exchange is also a very good spot. Here's a pic of my ride. 17 x 7 +42mm 215/45/17 |
Nice car! How much of a drop do you have? What springs and shocks do you have?
|
ooh Sorry to disappoint you..
I dont a drop yet.. Well Actually I do.. I have OE type shocks but stiffer. They dont really lower. I think that was one of the pics I played with, using Photoshop. I'll try and find a *real* one. Sorry again.. |
here'S one.

OK, I've had a change of plans. I actually ended up getting the 17x7 Konig Rhythm wheels in the black opal color. Here's a pic of them.
And I also purchased the Kumho ECSTA Supra 712 tires in 205/40/17. Here's a pic of them. Do you think this suspension setup would be good and look good for the money? It's the one at the very top (Tokico). 1.5" drop I think. http://www.modacar.com/honda/framese...kage_honda.htm |
1.5 looks good with 17's on a 95 VIC.
I dont have much experience with those shocks. I'm not too sure how the ride will be with that combo. My guess would be that you'd maintain a good level of comfort, and achieve a little performance (1.5 + performance shocks = X) . Moderate changes, I think.. Unless the shocks decide to settle at 2 + inches, then we'd have to recalculate. I'd go for it. Besides, thats a pretty good price. |

Would you rather prefer the second ones down on that same link? They are the Koni reds and Gold-Line springs? Would I have rubbing with 1.5" with my set-up? Should I worry about camber correction?
By the way, bad ride Accord Man!! |
Thanks!
I'd stick with : Honda Suspension Package #1 4 Tokico High Performance Springs 4 Tokico HP High Performance Struts With the rubber you have.. you wont rub. What' the offset for your wheels? Upto 1.5, a camber kit is not very necessary. That'S pretty much the drop I will have, and I most probably wont have a cabmer kit. Not even in the front. Frequent tire rotations will keep em fine. |
The offset I believe is +40.
|
Thats fine, you dont need mroe.
