How to decide my wheel set up

By amanti
- Sun Jul 07, 2013 3:03 am #333946 Hey i got a 1994 Eg coupe. Im trying to get new rims for my car. I was looking into getting all black diamond racing rims. I dont care what people say about my choice of rim all i need is the knowledge on knowing how to achieve what i want. So what i want to achieve is jus dropped and flush. I dont want flush and tucked i dont want stance where my wheel looks like its about to fall off no matter how good it looks or how ugly personal preference applies. But i was looking and the info for ordering require fields to be filled would i be close with what i want to achieve with 15x8 4x100 bolt pattern and a +0 offset? The only thing that throws me off is the offset and im not sure if the 15x8 would actually stay flush or poke out too much, i dont mind some poke but i dont want to look retarded riding around. Anyone with genuine knowledge please lend me some assistance please thanks.

Diamond racing wheels have that 0 offset. Check the stance thread. You'll see a lot of cars with different rim size and offset. Check my car out as well as I have 15x8 with a +20 offset. I had to negative 3 camber it so it doesn't stick out so much at my lowered height.

There's a sticky thread in this forum about our cars not needing a camber kit, read up on it. http://civic-eg.com/viewtopic.php?t=10807

Your second question: If I remember correctly, Teal (chime in, please!) mentions a width of no more than 7 or 7.5 for our cars.

And while you don't need a camber kit for a normal drop, going the hellaflush route will sometimes require additional negative camber for wide/really low offset wheels to clear. :thumb:

without pictures of examples i have no idea what you consider dropped and flush.


you can run whatever you want but every factor that Teal mentioned is going to play a part in how it looks in the end

- Mon Jul 08, 2013 5:25 pm #334008 Dont know bout the offsets but for tyre size you can use this :

it helps you choose a tyre size so you'll know how big your wheel diameter will get with the new rims/tyres compare to your old set up :thumb:
