Plenty, that is almost the same size wheel and tire I plan on. I am going with Konig Milligrams 18x8.5 +35 offset. A +25 8.5" wheel would not stick out as far as 9.5" +35 would.

Gold wheels = rice

i like them 527s as well... we'll see... thanks for the suggestion.

johndeo11

i like them tenzo as well. dc-5 or concept-9. and yeah, wish they came with 8.5-9.5" wide with +30-+40et...

i was using 225/45 on my TC1 with the same size wheel (TSW) and skunk2 springs and they were almost perfectly flush.

Anyone know if the buddy club p1 sf are good wheels??

Seeing as how there were 2 threads on the same subject with the same title, I merged them to keep everything in one thread.

Really depends on the look your going for.

Do you want the tC to look like this:




or like this:

1st pic has stretched tires, right?

Just wondering. Can I use the stock TPMS on the new rims?

and will i need anything else to do that?

Yes you can and should. Dealers charge an arm and a leg to initialize new tpms sensors. Whatever shop you choose to mount your wheels and tires will handle the tpms swap. They charge you for a rebuild kit for the sensors, roughly 8 bucks or less per wheel. The kit is just new seals and such.

Yw bud, I look forward to some pics. Especially from the back of car showing how they fill the wheel wells. I am not in to the hella flush scene. I prefer the plain flush look like BMW does with their factory wheels. I keep changing my mind on my wheel choice every couple days...lol

johndeo11

just a question. can 17" rims fit to our car? lolz

donsun

^same question, well i'm 90% sure they'd fit, I was more worried about the change in diameter affecting the abs system

johndeo11

i've been thinking this for a long time... what'll happen if i used 17s?? does it fit? does it affect anything on the car?

oblivionlord

you want 20's not 17's.... 17's are for cheap civics

donsun

^there are people who care about performance more than looks.

@john deo, for slight reference to see what 17s look like on the tC2, check out fredric aasbo's formula-d tC2, it runs 17's i believe

johndeo11

yeah, but do you think they did something to fit them 17s and so that the sbs system wont be affected?

donsun

dunno if they need/use abs in drifting. i think the only issues with going 17's is that the overall diameter will change by more than 3% and the only thing it'll be affected is the abs but i'm not sure how badly. i wonder if any tc1 people with stretched tires have any issues
