Wheels on 4gen - 8,5x17 +30 ?

Post by TheHondaTuner » Fri Jan 27, 2017 6:47 pm

Hey guys. is someone here running a 8,5 with +30 oder wider on a 4then gen? Iam zero satisfied with my 7x17 +37 and 215 tires. They look lost and the lowspeed grip is frustating. I want to run 235 or at least 225. actually id like to test 255 but probably no chance to get that legal in germany.

So i wonder if someone has a few pictures showing the fitment! I have the chance to buy 8,5x17 with +30 :?

After buying those Rims and getting 215 45 17 RSR for free, I can answer my own question. Maybe someone else is lookinmg for a similar rim size and fitment. Here are some pics

The front has to be pulled(is that correct english?) anyway. And in the rear.. 20mm wider tire is to the outside only +10mm.
I think 10mm more outside will be tight.^^ Probably less then 1mm left ;D

Considering 4th and 5th gen arches are the same dimensions and offsets you have allot of room but tyres change everything.
My arches are rolled and pulled and I have 2mm spare.
17x9 et42 245/40/17. However ad08s have very square shoulders and mine are wider.
