ok i no its not a toyota but hey. Ive got some 17X8 inch rims here to hopefully go on my EF civic. I put the ims on today, no tyres and tested it on full lock. It looks like with suspension travel its going to hit the inner gaurd. Any ideas on making these fit??? spacers?? will i have to lengthen the shafts that the wheels go on to?????

My brother put 18's on his CRX, he just had to roll the guards.

In fact...

by **86_rolla** » Mon Feb 06, 2006 12:22 pm

yeh its not the fact that they are 17's its that they are 8 inches wide

remove the inner gaurd!

by **THA SHZ** » Mon Feb 06, 2006 3:22 pm

no because of them bein 8 inches wide they basically stuff it up , they r to wide for the offset , and if u use spacers it will make it even worse

Why did you buy rims, if you didnt know that they would fit?

Im not criticising, I'm genuinely curious. as posts like this seem to come up every now and then from various people.

did you buy them privately? if not and you brought them from say the likes of mag and turbo, you should be able to take them back surely, and get the proper size that suits? most decent companies shoudl be able to help you out in this situation

by **86_rolla** » Mon Feb 06, 2006 6:45 pm

i brought them off a dude from trademe, but on the auction it had a list of cars it would fit and civic was on it.

by **IH8TEC** » Mon Feb 06, 2006 6:47 pm

try email him and see how good a trader he is, mind you he might say, well they fit, jsut dont turn sharp corners or some crap like that

What would you expect putting 8 inch wide mags on a Civic though?

by **86_rolla** » Mon Feb 06, 2006 7:06 pm

i didnt even look at the width, dumb i no. On his trademe post it said it fits civics.

What i might do is see if i can take it to a tyre shop and fit one of there shitty tyres to the mags and see how much it rubs and shit and then either take them back or do what is required to fit them
