SBC RPF1's, 18x9.5 +15

[Richmond Huynh]

So I am trying to buy these wheels, I'm currently just on H&R Springs will eventually be on coils but do you guys think ill currently be rubbing? And also will I need to do fender work when I do get coils.

Mikex18 is on a very similar wheel running like -3/-4 camber front/rear & rubbing a little. He's also stretching tires. You're trying to go a few mm wider. He'd be the best bet for advice.

i had 9.5 with +15 on my battles,on somme 204-40-17, and in the back the the Wheel itself was hitting the rear quarters!!! in front the tire was rubbing in the inner fender clips!!!

to run a offset this low you need small tires!!!

right now i have some 17x9.5 +18 i rolled my fenders, and dropped a bit more, and until now i have no more rubbing issue, in the front i have maybe 2-3 degres of camber but in the back maybe 5-6 degres

this is the camber i have on the Skunk2 arms, with all the lock rings still on

Thank you Mikex18 i really appreciate it! i'll definitely post what the before and after pictures are going to look like.

Also with my tires i'm planning on doing 215/35 or 225/35.

you're going to have to run a lot of negative camber, shave the fenders...roll them etc to get that to fit without rubbing constantly.

 

[Mikex18]

Yeah that ^ except if your dropped like 1.5in loll

and even then... you may have issues with the tire coming into contact with the suspension components. You're more than 3/4" wider with a 225 tire versus what mike ran.

so i ended up getting the exact same thing as mike! 17x9.5+18

 

[Richmond Huynh]

so this is how it looks atm

 

[Richmond Huynh]

i couldn't get 225/35 cause my tire shop didnt have it... so i had to get 225/45 and its fat as hell!!

 

[Richmond Huynh]

what camber kit would you guys suggest me getting?!

Dar-Dar has a link for some inexpensive godspeed arms. People seem pretty happy with them.

The 06-11 Civic Camber arms can be used for 2012+ Civics too.

Nice, did you ever camber the wheels in and seriously no rubbing on 215s? How low did you go?
