Wheel Help....

Calling on all the Wheel Whores!!!

I have a 1990 Integra RS and am looking to get wheels. I have a question on rim size and offset...

The Tires are

195/50/15 Goodyear Eagle GT's


The Rims are

15x8

+0 Offset



Wanting to know if the rims being 15x8 with 0 offset are too wide for the car and if the tires being 195 series are going to be stretch?

[spastik]

Fair amount of stretch, needs loads of camber or pull.

[MattCHEW]

its not really much of a stretch. You will need a roll and then adjust camber accordingly. That setup has been done before with those played out xxr 002's

[SRinside]

Not very stretched. They will fit if you know how to pull.

these are the rims im looking at getting....

I would do a 195/45 not a 195/50.. I had a 15x7 with 195/45 on my DC and it fit with ease.

and there is a guy rocking those same wheels on a red DC around town...

[cedge208]

Sold them. I would suggest not getting those wheels. They just look a little weird with the spokes extending past the lip. Plus they are heavy as fuck. But if you like them go ahead and get them.

[InSepsis]

That's a slight stretch. You will need at least some negative camber and a fender roll like previously stated.

I would honestly say to go after different wheels. Those XXRs are soo over played.


I am assuming Integra will have similar fittment as 2 door civic so here are some photos.


His are 15x8 offset 0, with 195/50 tires.

The wheels look pretty shitty on a honda and I would go with something with a lip instead.

[MattCHEW]

I agree with mirko something more period with a lip looks better on da's. If you like those xxr's though go for it!

[Juice]

Thanks for the info guys. Ya I'm don't like the look of them on the civic so I think I'm going to pass on the xxr's...

The tires I'm getting are 195/50/15, I'm getting a killer deal on them through my work at Goodyear!

Anyone have LS Web's or 15x7 for sale?

[InSepsis]

I would say still go and get 15x8, just get offset 15 or 20 and there are some pretty sweet XXRs in similar price range.


For example these are 15x8 +20 with 205s so 195/50/15 will look better. They aren't XXRs but there are tons of wheels in that size and offset.

I would honestly get something like this

They look a lot better in my opinion with the size and fitment and for under $600 it's a hell of a deal.

Thats a sick ass wheel... little out of the price range i want to spend.... would the 15x7 look the same with the 0 offset? As in the lip of the rim?

forgive me im a noob when it comes to wheels....

[Juice]

anyone know a wheel supplier the carries rota?

[DubstepDave]

nobody local. all online.

[InSepsis]

A 15x7 would look similar but not as aggressive. Also you will have to run a really tiny tire on it to go with an aggressive fitment. It's better to go wider and have a bit of stretch than to go not wide enough and have to have the tire bubble over since you don't want tor run 165s :)

As far as local dealers, I don't think anyone would carry that stuff but $600 for a brand new set of wheels is a hell of a deal.

15x7 0 offset would stick out about 1/2 less than a 15x8 since the rim loses about 1/2 on each side of the wheel and the offset stays centered.

a 15x7 +20 sits a tad sunk on a DC maybe 5mm...

a 15x8 +0 is going to need some work to get it under the fenders..

I am going to be running a 15x8 +20 with a 205/50 but I am not going to be slammed
