these are the wheels

And yes my friend got 10mm machined off of his wheels to make them fit on his CRX.


Think it can be done?

 

I don't think so, the most aggressive settings were a 19x9 or 19x9.5 in low offsets and 19x11 in low offset, that guy was on air and did a lot of fender mods. I'm almost positive it's not going to work. Someone should chime in soon.

 

Yeah I figured... I have a few more sets I'm eying in a fitment I know will work but these are my first choice.

 

but how reliable is shaving? shaving off mm's for a higher offset correct?

 

dont go 19 front and 20 rear. if it were 19x11 +20, i would go for it!

 

Yeah I thinking giving up on these.

Now just need to choose from 3 more sets.

 

sic car man... was wondering whats the offset on them wheels?

 

venzon - I would definitely not do the 19 & 20 cause resell would be near impossible as well.

 

19x9 +11 R Disc
19x10 +13 O Disc

 

What tire size?

 

Depends, in most cases... I wouldn't do it.

Instead of building used or off the shelf stuff, just order custom wheels with the proper offsets and you will be a happy camper.

 

Yup my friend had local shop machine his wheels 10mm so he could make it fit. But he hardly drives it since he built it from the ground up and baby's it.


had to ***** out his cover shot.. ha ha. Winnipeg Represent!


With the roads the way there are here I don't think I could dish out the cash for a brand new set. Unless I was going to make my IS a show car.

I have narrowed it down to 2 sets and soon I'll be able to post in the thread I started!
