Rota ik-f fitment

[truWarier02]

Werdd.

And 225 on 8.5" is barely a stretch anyway. And you don't need a massive amount of camber, even to fit 9" all around. You'll just need about -2.5 to -2.8 or so.

I would personally go for 8.5"or 9" with about 30 offset on 225/40. It'll look good and would just need a simple fender roll to fit.

damn those IkR rims are ****ing HOTT!! how concave are the 17x9 +25?

235/45 was the stock tire size for base 3G TL wheels which are 17x8 +45, and many people have run these on their car, but I'm not sure how low they were.

I have 18x8 +45 wheels with 235/40 tires and they rub. If you roll your fenders you could run the 235. But honestly I would go with 225 as others suggested.

is that extra 10mm between 225 and 235 really gonna give u noticeably better traction?/QUOTE]

I don't know if it will be noticeable but I know for a fact it will help out with accelerating, cornering, and braking. Which is basically everything. Why do you think race cars use fender flares and wide-body kits? So they can run wider tires, because contact patch will affect every aspect of performance. Plus tires in that size are cheaper and if I'm getting new wheels and tires anyway why not increase performance by going with a 235?

Why do people buy intakes, exhaust systems, headers, or take out interior parts for weight reduction? Is it really a noticeable performance increase? Not really but every little bit helps and it all adds up. Same goes for a lot of parts that people buy for hondas.

rota? why not get something for functional? rota are crazy heavy compared to the original rims they copy

Rota FTW!

If I wasn't spending $1,300 on a GT3071R I might consider getting the TE-37's. Go to an autoX or racetrack and ask all those people why they have rotas. They look good, they are relatively light and most importantly they are cheap.

 

[jaron001]

its all good man different strokes for different folks. just threw that out there since you didnt say you only were interested in rota

 

[turboaccord98]

Yeah I've had my eye on the volks it's just not a realistic option right now.

race cars use what they use because its functional, and they have wider bodies and flares because the tires they use have a bit more than 10mm difference between them


i doubt your car is going to be 100% built for racing, if it is then i'd just buy something RWD and more suitable for the track...
i get your point but i hope you see where im coming from as well

but if they are cheaper for 235 then go for it, but honestly given that you might take the car to track days and etc i dont think it'll make much of a difference at all
