Hey Griff, nice car you got there. Mines almost the same style except i have different sides. Here are a couple pictures of my 18's on my car i'm riding one 225/35/18's they ride really good with my tein S-techs. hope this helps ya a little bit.

thanks man, ive been watching the progress on your car, i cant wait to see it done, those look pretty good, and the ride on the 35's isnt to bad?

and do your 225's rub?

nope they don't rub. I love the ride quality. You got any more pics of your car finished? i don't see any pics of it finished in your profile.

18's, although we went a tad narrow on the tires (will be rectified next spring):

Heres some pics of 18"s on my car:






They are sitting on 225/40/18 BFGoodrich KDW TA-2 Tires. The only problem i have is if you have the Accord CAI kit on ure car the tire will rub a little on the inner wheel well plastic with the piping being right there, but it is only when i turn my wheel hard to the left and am backing out. But besides that i love them they look so good on the celi and if you did a drop it would look awesome IMO.

wow, 18's look goooooood.

anyone that posted pics know there offset?

^^ im going to get those, but i dunno what width/offset would fit best.

the reason is, that you have 40 tyres and not 35 tyres



mi offset is 35.
rims are 8.5"x18" with 35 offset.
tyres are 225/35R18

Offset on mine is a +38mm

I have 17"X7's at a +42mm offset. A little sucked in in the back, but I don't mind. Tires are unfortunately sized at 205/40-R17. Probably the summer will lead me to purchase some 215/45-R17 tires.

not much diff between 17 and 18 i think, i went for more tred, well my pics are on the almost got whole kit on thread right above this one

so my question is now, with these rims:

http://buywheelstoday.com/products/?id=2749

which is the better for our car? 18x7.5 with 45 or 18x8 with 40 offset?

i would like the 8's for tread reasons, but im clueless on offset on which one would be better...anyone can help here?

thanks.

Those are some hot cars.

You are correct, but i decided to go with 40's when i severely bent a rim with 35's on the car. Plus, the intake still rubbed with 35's on there. It only rubs when the wheel is turned. A small noise sacrifice to make sure i have less of a chance of bending a rim..

no rub... just smooth

Heres my car sitting on 18" tenzo-r mean 6's with 225/40/18 tyres, and the ride is fine, you do feel every bump, but i dont know if thats the wheels or my harden shocks.
