opinions on this wheel/tire setup

[chriskarel]

Hey I want to get FF Type 1's with 17's. Do the Type 1's drop low enough to cover that gap, or should I get 18's? Also, the tires I'm looking at are 215/45/17. Would a sidewall of 45 look ok on 17's? I don't want super lo-pro tires, as PA roads suck, but I don't want truck tires either. Thanks.

Also, do these prices seem reasonable?

Wheels/Tires: Enkei J10's with Nankang NS-I's for $850.00 with free shipping

Coils: FF Type 1's for $595.00 with free shipping

Yes, they do, they drop even more.

Would a sidewall of 45 look ok on 17's?
Yes, lots of people here have 17" wheels. I personally have this sidewall, I think it looks fine.

That looks totally allright to me

Everything seems copasthetic to me dude. F1's will drop more than you need to get rid of the wheel gap and thats a pretty good price for them. May want a 40 sidewall though...just food for thought

 

[hirichard]

yes the coilovers will drop you low enough to eliminate wheel gap, even more than that.
and i'm no wheel/tire expert so i'm gonna let someone else answer

spend the extra money on type 2's, dampening adjustability is worth it

ff's will literally sit your car on the ground if you wanted.

My setup:

17's 225/45 tires dropped on FF's. You can look at my pictures if you want and idea how it could look.

I'd love to get the Type II's, but I'm saving up for an Evo at the same time so I gota save where I can.

And your car looks clean man now I'm excited to do mine

If you're saving up for an evo then why waste your money on the accord?
