Finally got my Prelude done (almost). - 56killer - Honda Prelude Forum

Stuck on a Wings West RS bodykit, rear spoiler and KEI Racing RSS 18" wheels.
Don't think I can drop it unfortunately as the offset on the wheels seem to be incorrect and if the car gets lowered more, the tyres will rub on the wheel arch.

I'm still waiting for the 50% smoke tint which is taking ages to get here due to overseas postage problems.

Going to add 1 or 2 subtle stickers on the car (my website URL and such), then its done (cosmetic-wise).

She is the 4 wheel steering 2.2i model (2001) with 37800kms (23600miles) on the clock only.

nice!! Hopefully mine 5th gen will be 4ws shortly.

What size tires are you running? The sidewalls look a little tall... that's probably why you're having rub issues.

I wonder if 4ws helps with parallel parking

F1Racer · 10-03-2007, 09:43 AM

4ws does help with parking yes. But you have to get used to it. Sometimes I still end up 2ft from the kerb

The tyres are 225/40/18. Yes I think 35's are the ones that should be on there, but I went with what the wheel place fitted and assumed they knew the right specs as it seemed so from their site.

Im not gonna spend money now on 35's though as it would be a waste. They only rub now if I really hit a compression going quick.
Plus 35 walls will make the gap to the wheelarch even greater and it`ll look in more need of a drop

Also with some of the roads here, the more tyrewall I can get away with, the better.

Actually I think the issue is that they stick out a slight bit too much.
They sort of meet the seam of the wheel arch halfway. I guess folding in the metal would solve it but I dont want to do that either.

I`ll consider 35's next time around.

That's very nice mate. Silver Ludes with silver rims always look good. What's she like inside?

Sebax's_sh · 10-05-2007, 02:16 AM

Nice!!!

nice man! the rims flow really good with silver!

F1Racer · 10-11-2007, 12:41 PM

Everyone thinks its silver

Its Nordic Mist which is a light metallic blue.

But thanks for the comments, yeah I took a gamble with the choice of wheels as I didn't get to preview them on the car (on the website) before I sent for them.

@steve's h22, can you point me in the direction of how to get that car sig made up for my car ?

corpuszero · 10-11-2007, 09:53 PM

no way!!! i refuse to believe thats nordic mist...

mine used to be silver and looks exactly like thAT! lol, but yeah, its real close to silver.

NICE!
