View Full Version : Would 15"s Work?
turdbrains 03-07-2009, 04:57 AM Yup, I'm nuts! I want to put 15x7 magnesium rims on my tC which already has 16" Enkei RPF-1s and P-Zeros dropped on Tein Basics. I know it's already as light, and is as comfortable as a late model 3-Series. But, I want to know if it's possible to fit 15x7s? Would it make it through the OE brakes and, would the speedo be still as good as stock? Has anyone here ever done this?
I want to do it so I would need less inertial force to move the tC in stop and go traffic to save gas and get better launches if I mess with 6sec 0-60 cars.
tCtCtC 03-07-2009, 05:30 AM ask tcpete
rosedaleny806 03-07-2009, 05:41 AM tcpete has a set of 15's for his car u can ask him. but small rims like that I feel look weird on our cars, maybe they look ok on older civics and teggy's
turdbrains 03-07-2009, 05:41 AM That's odd... I asked if it's possible to make a high RPM 2AZ and they told me to ask tcpete, I asked this and you told me to ask tcpete.
If I ask where I could get something like the Integra Type R wrinkle paint on the valve cover to look JDM, who should I ask?
I better PM this guy...
Anyone got pics of 15"s on a slammed tC?
tCtCtC 03-07-2009, 05:42 AM ASK TCPETE.
flip. everything you want he has.
Ro_Ja 03-07-2009, 05:53 AM If I ask where I could get something like the Integra Type R wrinkle paint on the valve cover to look JDM, who should I ask?
Ask tcpete. He's done it.
Anyone got pics of 15"s on a slammed tC?
And again, ask tcpete. He slammed his on Basics.
rosedaleny806 03-07-2009, 05:56 AM rofl ask tcpete. this seems like it was planned cause everything u want tcpete has done haha
divisii 03-07-2009, 06:18 AM The speedo would not be stock correct, unless you used an equivalent diamenter tire to the stock 215/45-17; mine's off with its taller 205/55-16's.
I can't imagine going smaller, I have traction issues as it is.
turdbrains 03-07-2009, 06:32 AM I just found out about TCpete tonight...
Is there a way to recalibrate the speedo like on domestic trucks and SUVs with our tCs?
nebster 03-07-2009, 07:52 PM you should ask tcpete, i think he did that with his 15's

bigBOAT 03-08-2009, 06:30 AM hey doesnt tcpete have 15s you should ask him. im sure he'll know
Ro_Ja 03-08-2009, 06:41 AM why does noone go with 16's?
I was actually thinking about Volk TE's in 16's.
rosedaleny806 03-08-2009, 06:56 AM i think TE's would look pretty good in 16's hmm
nebster 03-08-2009, 06:58 AM TE's will only look good if they're concave. no wheels will be concave for the 5x100
rosedaleny806 03-08-2009, 07:01 AM theres actually sum1 with rotas (i know) with concave and nice concave
rosedaleny806 03-08-2009, 07:04 AM http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r69/shinjitai1438/CopyofIMG_1658_edit.jpg
nebster 03-08-2009, 07:08 AM yeah those are rotas
i'm talking about te37's which are FAR from rotas
TE's will only look good if they're concave. no wheels will be concave for the 5x100
custom make them =)
nebster 03-08-2009, 07:15 AM they don't make old school te's anymore. hence why rota can make them now
rosedaleny806 03-08-2009, 07:17 AM no wheels will be concave for the 5x100
i said they were, oh ur talking bout te 37's being concaved in 5x100 i thought u meant any wheel cant be concaved for 5x100's
