Wheels and tires. Please help.... - Honda Prelude Forum

NiSpencer · 08-20-2002, 12:56 PM

I know that I am going to get alot of s**t for saying this buy I just recently bought my prelude (and may I say it is one of the finest pieces of machinery I have ever bought!) But before I had my lude I had a camaro and so I know nothing about FWD or for that matter import wheels and tires. I have been looking at the Konig absolute wheels but I have no clue what tires I should buy. Please help!

why would you get **** because of that?
Depends on how much money you want to spend.. Kuhmo makes good tires, and they are really cheap..But im sure there are higher quality tires available also..

Ive only used the kuhmos so i wouldnt know

If you want awesome tires, and you autocross try some S-03's or Yoko Parada Spec-IIs

The type of tire you buy really depends on the application you are gonna use it for.......
As far as rims, make sure you know the correct offset that is going to fit your car. Is it s 5th gen or 4th gen?

If you were in NY I'd recommend you to my friend he bought the P7000 and hes letting them go for $400 really nice tires check them out on tirerack.com. KingMotorsports never sent him his Mugen rims so He still has 16" rims...

They were never mounted 17in wheels when I do get new wheels I'm definitely getting those or the Yokohama Prada Spec-2

ya welcome

I am leaning more towards the parada's. I have heard alot of really good stuff about them. I really appriciate the info. So far the only problem i have had with my lude was installing the lowering springs those things were a b*tch to get in.

What made you switch to the import side after owning your Camaro?

Just curious
