axis se7en mods hands down ...

 

rh evo C5s hands down.

 

Yeah,.. that works if you only travel through roads that you have been to already.
What happens when you travel else where??
I bent a rim on mothers day, and boy was my wife pissed.

 

Thanks for the replies guys...appreciate it.

I was also leaning towards the c5's because i know they look
badass on heather mist coupes. And before i even dropped my car got really familiar with the streets i travel regularly, so its just the ones ive never been on i have to worry about.

Mizturyous: thanks for the pics, they look great on your car and that makes me want them even more..i see you have the 225/40 series on your car. Would you advise against 225/35 or 215/35's ?

 

personally the 18x7.5 should be fine not sure about the 18x8 though for me i've bent my 17's a number of times rolling on nitto 450's but mostly bent them when i got flats and couldnt do anything about it. for me u'll catch me going the long way to everywhere since i dont drive up certain streets in NYC unless i know where too look. the times i dont u might catch me doing 50 (in a 30) and suddenly dropping down to 2mph (in a 30) cuz of pot holes. when it rains its worse cuz low profile tires dont have good wet traction already and most pot holes fill up with water so u dont know till u fall in. with me i can afford that with my drop (no fingers gap)

 

I went with the 225/40's because of ride quality and less chance of bending one if I do happen to hit something. I have no complaints at all on them.

 

We just put C-5's on a gold 5th gen. Dumped on coils this car looks amazing the wheels look bigger when the car is stuffed.

side note i just picked up some 18x7's should i do a 215 or a 225 series tire?
thanks

 

I'm getting 18s for my 2003 Coupe as well. I've been playing around with a tire size calculator. at http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

and from my stock 205/60/16s ... The following are possibilities in tires I want and sizes .. but I don't know if some are too big,

The following, are the preference of tires in order I want them PLEASE tel,l me if you thin one or another is too wide though! My car is NOT yer lowered, but as soon as Eibach and or H&R come out with a kit for the 2003 Accord coups it'll be going down 1.5-1.8". so factor in - say a 1.6" drop.

235/40/18 - ContiExtremeContact - $128 each

And the 225/45/18 is crap selection, and so is the 215/40

WHat is one to do!?!?!

 

Yeah I bent one rim in the past year I've had them. cost me $105 to fix. Although it's straight, the lip isn't as shiny as the other ones and the guy put mad amounts of clearcoat over this one.

I run on 18x7.5's on my 6th gen with a +42 offset. No rubbing whatsoever. Don't forget to put on your hubcentric rings when you put on your rims

 

i am about to get the AXIS MODS >> 18' i am in chicago suburb .. streets are ehh ok lol
