xxr 513 16x8 with 205/40/16

[jaymausantos]

Hi guys, Finally dropped my 90'accord coupe with tien's coilover... I would say about 2 1/2 inches... well... all there's left at the bottom of the coilovers are 7lines of grove, you know were you turn it upwards or downwards.
Anyways i'm thinking of getting xxr 513 16x8 with 205/40/16. Would i have a problem with this set up? Please advice... I'm thinking of getting it like tomorrow already... kinda excited!!! Thanks

The Rims it self won't be a problem but it all depends on the offset. I knw those Rims come in zero offset but not too sure if it comes in a higher offset.do u plan on running camber or rolling fenders?

[jaymausantos]

i got a camber kit already... the specs of the rims are
16
8.0
+0
4x100/4x114.3
Black/Machined Lip
3.5 in lip
I already have 17s now with 205/45... when i went all the way on my coilovers, it looked good but if a have a passenger at the back,,, it will start rubbing so we raised it 7 turns(or Groove). now i just took out my 3 kids and my wife and no rubbing whatsoever... i'm just wondering though if i get the
16x8... that it mught be to wide.

Well you will probably have to roll and pull your fenders so it wont hit on the fender , if you dump it then your gunna get camber wear and you have to avoid pot holes and speed bumps , but it will look really nice though

Offset?

Offset?

+0

... I'm sure that doesn't surprise anyone.

+20 offset looks the best on a cb.

the problem wont be that the rim is too wide,its your offset that will cause you to rub.i hAVE 16X8 +20 offset and i had to roll fenders and camber it.
but im not sure if your trying to:
-dump your car
-get it flush
-or lower it slightly and have a gap between your fenders/rim and tire

depends on what your looking for.

Your tires will be very slightly stretched, you will need to do some fender work, on the rear of my car I have 16x8 with spacers for my offset to be at +9 with a 205/40/16. My fenders are rolled, you might be able to tuck it under there with more camber, or a bigger stretch.

[cb7beater]

are you planning on running camber at all or were you hoping to just be able to get away with rolling it and slightly lower it?

[jaymausantos]

well, to be honest with you guys i don't really know what's gonna happen when i put my new set of rims thats why im asking. i use my car everyday for work... so i dont really want it that low. i have a camber kit on the front... so i guess i need to "roll" my fender at the back? theres a place here in san leandro that charges $35 to roll fenders... im fine with that if thats the only thing i have to do. i wanted 15x8 really but i know it will be too low so im going with 16x8. is that fine?

[cb7beater]

you'll be fine as long as you dont lower it too much.but it might look funny with the rims sticking out.but you wont rub.

[jaymausantos]

im having trouble posting pictures... i wish i could show you guys how low my car is now so can tell me if either i need to raise it a little bit or do something else... but like what i mentioned before... when i installed my tein suspension, i went all the way down on the coilovers with my 17(7.5) 205/45 and its fine when i am driving by my self but with 2 passengers it started rubbing at the back so we raised it 7turns(groove) and its fine now but i know when i put my xxr's... although its only size 16... im afraid itll rub again since its 8 inches wide so i guess rolling my fender is the best solution... but if you guys think itll be too low and not safe then i might not do that set up then coz i use my car for work everyday.

if i roll the fender, would it still stick out?

When we mention a camber kit, it's to add more negative camber, not to correct it. It will stick out unless you run negative camber and stretch your tire to fit it in the wheel well. I dont think a low offset wheel is for you and I think you should reconsider your wheel choice and learn more about offset and width.
