Need Rim/Suspension advice please!!
 

I am looking to get new Rims, I want to go with a set of nice, light racing rims, I have heard good things about Modegi (sp?). Here's the problem. I have a 96 Civic EX and have put 2 1/4" Exhaust pipes on it so I already don't have enough room when there are more then 2 people in the car.:rolleyes: So I guess I am stuck to not getting Rims any bigger then 15". Is that bout right? I don't want the big rims, just nice, light and a good ride. So the meat is, do I need any kits or anything, should I stay with a 15" wheel? And any ideas on what tyupe of "racing" wheel to go with? Thanks for your help fellas, this is for sure NOT my area of knowledge.

Rotas... Or Kosei K1s..

I personally love 15s.. but thats my opinion..

awesome, just placed the order, ill put up pics when i put them on

JT

which ones did you get?

I got the Kosei K1s, 15s Silver. now on to tires.....:paranoid:
I am going to try and keep the same Overall Diamiter of my orignal setup, Not trying to bend these things when I get them!~!!

THanks for the help, I went out and looked at them, very clean looking rims, good looking out.

195/55-15 is the correct size to get.

i dont understand what you mean about their not being enough room with 2 people in your car because you have 2.25" exhaust pipes.....care to explain?

yep, that makes no sense to me either

Sure,
whenever I put any more then 2 people, my exhaust will hit on the "axle" (not the right word, but the metal bar connecting to the Rim). I have already bent the exhaust pipe up a little, I am going to try and adjust the hanging rods to bring it up a little too. I can take a picture if need be to help explain. It's not that big a deal, my parents got it done for me as a present, somewhat of a hack job and may have to get it redone, but that's another story. Hope that helps.

Makes sense to me.. :yes: That can be a real pain with a rear swaybar too.

Good choice on the rims.. :yes: Im wanting to get a set of K1s one of these days too.

anyone have any fix it up advice on that by any chance? I figure, I'll just sell it and buy a Neon... :D j/k, thanks again fellas.

You sell it and buy a Neon Ill drive to your house and kick your a$$.. ;) :D j/k

I think youd be kicking your own a$$.. especially after you put it in the shop a million times..;)

You may need either firmer rear springs or new shocks back there. Does it tend to sag a lot when you have people sitting in the back seat? If so, the above mentioned options may help you.

yes it does, i think i might change the springs, thanks for help
