17x12?

[SpikedJoker]

I'm looking for black super deep wheels that will fit my bolt pattern. 5x100. 17x12. Anyone have a place I can look? I have 17x9 right now but it's not enough grip. And the done stick out far enough. Ill be doing a wide kit and need them to fill the fenders

Maybe wheel dude.com, if you are happy how the wheels look now have you looked into stickier tires and a hubcentric wheel spacer? What are the applications you need stickier tires for? Track, autox, drag, etc?

Drag but still daily driver... also I don't want to put as much pressure on the bearings by using a spacer.

12" slicks? What kind of power are you pushing? You may want to talk to @axion_industries about their drag setups. They have a shop car setup for drag with slicks and light weight wheels.

Right now barely over 200 but my plans are to build her to 500+ .. maybe up to 7 or 8 if possible in a k24

Which car are these going on? Your Civic is not 5x100.

 

[SpikedJoker]

The ones I have now are 5x 100 and they fit. They're xxr

The wheels you have now are double bolt pattern 5x100 and 5x114.3, our civic's 5x114

See how you have 10 lug nut holes on your wheels? Yours are dual drilled. Civic is not 5x100.

There are plenty of 1000hp Honda drag cars running 8 sec quarter mile. None of them use anything wider than 9-10" wheels. And none of them would be more than 15" diameter. Function over form when it comes to making power.

So if I we're to use wheel spacers what kind of toll would that take on the bearings and steering or suspension even? I'm curious because I want the wheels to fill out the wheel area as close as possible without stance. I want proper alignment. And I have a wide kit going on it.

 

[webby]

is the kit custom? No one is going to know how wide your flares are. Cancel the wide kit? dpetro1 said the correct answer above.

Right now, a stickier set of tires would solve your grip problems. No need to go 12'' wide.

Agreed. Looks like a 255/40/17 all season from the pic.

OP, do you run race tires or slicks at the track? If not that is the main issue.
