i am getting rims and im dropping my prelude but how do i no if my rims and tires will tuck into my fender im gonna get adjustbale coilovers and if I lower real far i want the wheels and tires to sit jsut inside the fender and not touch how do i know if the wheels i want will allow me to do this :dunno:

 

just measure so your rims will stick out about 5 inches past your wheel fender....

 

Well, ignore the guy that replied first.....but I have 18 x 7.5" wheels on my '93 SI, and the rears could tuck just fine if I wanted them to (i don't like it that low) Just go to Les Schwab or another professional tire shop & they should be able to tell you free of charge.

 

i dont quite understand your question. but you can just lower your car till you get no gap since you have coilovers. i dont think i understand what youre saying though.

 

well, if you've ever been to ANY decent car show, you should know what tucking your wheels is. it's where not only is there no fender gap, but the wheels actually go up inside the fenders an inch or so.

 

exactly thats wut im looking for now how do i no if the rims i pick will allow me to tuck them in

 

go to preludecrazy.com and read about wheel specs, offset, etc. There are also charts that show what tire size to go with in order to maintain the correct rolling radius. Offset is huge if you wanna tuck. To much and they will stick out. What size rims are getting and have now (and tires)? And what kind of lude?

 

its a 5ht genreatoin and the rims will be 17s the tires will be somehting like 225/40/17

 

that's the correct tire size to maintain close to stock rolling radius (about 611 mm) if you had 205 50 16's stock (which you should). If you really wanna dump it get 215 40 17's for a narrower tire. Just make sure you have a quality suspension set up and you should be able to slam it but beware - you'll need a quality coilover system like tein or even sleeve coilovers like ground control. DO NOT BUY EBAY COILOVERS! The adjustability isn't always as advertised. I know from experience...just my 2 cents. You'll also need to roll your fenders back with a Louisville slugger and get a camber kit if it's real low or you'll smoke your tires.
