And they have a lower offset so the will be closser to the fender. Plus they are 2% taller then mine. But they are 195 rather than 185. What do yall think?

These are almost the same as my new rims! I just have 5 lug pattern.

I'm thinking of moon caps fabrication using those additional holes as the mounting points. I just need to find some 15" pizza pans

If you have access to a wood working band saw you can cut circles very easy, with a home made circle jig then it only takes 2 min each and perfect everytime I use old lexan I got in the scrap for mine. paint the inside and (bobs ur uncle)

So you switched it up so you can have them more sunk in the rear? Our for the simplicity of making them smooth?

Four reasons.

1. Bigger offset so I can cover rear wheels more easily + smaller frontal area.
2. Easy to make them smooth
3. Since roads in Eastern Europe are not the best quality I want to have higher tire with the same outer diameter. It will act much better than low profile one.
4. 15" tires are cheaper than 16"

AANNNNND my civic is decommissioned. Thanks rain for under steering me into a curb

Hope it's not too bad!

The night before last I went crosswise on a rainy freeway off-ramp [over-steer]. I managed to keep it off the concrete barrier, though.

I put it to to the first rain after 80+ dry days. The pavement is slippery until it gets properly rinsed off.

My son in law did that on a freeway entry several years ago in the rain, in an EVO -- 265hp could have had something to do with it. the good news the grand daughter was ok. He got knocked in the head (smartened up) and sold it

Don't do this mod, it sucks. This is exactly 2 years and 6 days since I flipped my old 240. In the rain. It's totally my kryptonite. Ill just stick to riding my bike in the rain

I got it sort of fixed but the camber is still way off. I ordered a pair of adjustable upper control arms. Hopefully that fixes it. I guess I'll be "hypo"miling the v8 240sx for the next few days thing could be worse haha


This thing is supposed to be straight :|
