Running 17x8.5 with 205's. Opinions? - Honda Prelude Forum

AndrewCjDuong · 05-15-2011, 09:44 PM

I already asked this on another Prelude forum but...

I have 17x8.5 with +45 offset coming this week (VS-XX replica's) and I'll have my Hankook 205/45's stretched on them all around. My car is lowered on Neuspeed Race springs so 2.5inch front and 2.0inch rear drop. My question is will I have any issues with rubbing or anything. My worries are I'll have issues with the wheel rubbing somewhere inside or something or my rubber stretching and still rubbing the fenders. I believe it's 2 inch lip.

8.5...errr.... I ended up sticking with 7.5 and they are close to call... I think your going to rub but let us know how it turns out.

wat is illest? I saw it on a souped up Cavalier once..

Had them put on but the set of rims I chose did not match my car at all. Looking for a new set now. Already pulled them off. More tuner less mesh/dish but they fit perfectly and flush. 8.5 +45 was perfect so I'll definitely be keeping that size if not I'll go 9 in rear but the front was perfectly flush. The guy who put it on said I should have ran wider rims and these were the weakest stretched tires he installed

No rub at all though and I'm dropped too!

Lmao. Don't worry. Rims are off now. Looking for something like Work Emotion CR-KAI. Might run 7.5 since the wide stance are usually made for 350z's or G35's and their offsets aren't compatible.

Triple ugh. You're doing this to an SH of all vehicles. Sad.

The SH unit doesn't work and the ATTS light has been on so I pulled it out.

Should roll your fenders

AndrewCjDuong · 05-21-2011, 11:09 PM

Those rims are off and sold. Didn't like the look of it. Had them on for literally 3 hours then pulled them off and put my gold ones back on.

Back to my gold...
