Title: Decided to go for the flush look (no tire abuse) Post by: Milan on April 22, 2010, 09:50:51 PM I have to say big thanks to Jason (JC04Accord) for helping me roll my rear fenders the other week. That's the only way I was able to run a 15mm Ichiba V2 spacers with my RDX wheels. That brings me to a +30mm offset in the rear with room to spare.

The rear is a fraction higher then the front. I have tried to correct this by lowering the perch on the Konis in the rear to the lowest and just second lowest in the front but even with that the drop is not perfectly level front to back.

I got the last shots from the roof of my garage. Just a small 6' ladder was all I needed to get there lol! Title: Re: Decided to go for the flush look (no tire abuse) Post by: Abailey4 on April 23, 2010, 04:50:36 PM Looks vicious Milan. I recently saw another silver sedan on RDX wheels on either v6p or drive accord like a week or two ago. Was that yours?
Title: Re: Decided to go for the flush look (no tire abuse) Post by: JC04accord on April 23, 2010, 05:36:31 PM You climbed up on the roof of your garage LOL. Looking good man!

Looking good man! Sure did lol! Looking good thanks to you and your patented fender rolling technique! Title: Re: Decided to go for the flush look (no tire abuse) Post by: sherker55 on April 23, 2010, 10:25:48 PM Milan, why is it that they don't stick out past the fenders in the front? I have the TL 17x8's and my wheels are out past my fenders...I'll take a pic tomorrow cause it's driving me crazy!

I posted picture on this forum when I first got these wheels mounted. You must have missed it.

It could have something to do with the tire size also. From what I recall the RDX wheels are 19"x8" +45mm. I believe Milan is also running 225/40/19 tires. We'll ignore the fact that he's running 15mm in the rear since you're talking about his front wheels. Now, as far as the TL wheels, they are 17"x8" +45mm, so with all things being equal, the wheels will be sitting in the same position in the front fenders. The difference comes with the tires. I'm not sure if you have 235/45/17's or 245/45/17's, but that could be the reason why your wheels aren't as flush in the front. The other reason could be that the different tires are also making the difference. I have run both sizes on my TL wheels and can tell you from experience that the 3 sets of tires I've had on my TL's all fit different because they were shaped differently. |
