I was just curious if these wheels will fit properly on my car. I found out that the stock offset on the prelude wheels are 55mm for a 6.5 in wide wheel. My question is will these wheels be to wide? If not what would be the appropriate offset? Thanks for your time.

 

offset? you are going to put 19s on!? omg...

my friend (speedy1882) has 18s and they rub and he took a baseball bat to his fenders! you're nuts... i'll have him post about it...

 

yea I had to take a baseball bat to them, wooden so it wont scratch the paint. Also wrap it in a towl, oh yea the reason I rub is because I have 42+ offset with 225/40/18 tires, you need something like 215/34/18.

 

u jeff.. 19s.. not 18s..

 

Yeah 19's! The size of the stock tires (205/50/16) are a little over 24 inches in diameter. The 19inch tires (215/35/19) are 24.9 inches. That's not the big deal though I was curious about the width and the offset of the 19x8. The width of the wheel is my concern, should I go with a 7.5 inch wheel?

 

There are a few guys running 19's but I have no clue about what size tire. I'd say for an offset you want close to 48-50mm with an 8" wheel. Personally I'd go with a 7.5" just to be safe. Try searching the setup section of hondaprelude.com to see what setups people are running.

 

Well yeah I noticed that the Axis NE-O only came in an 8 inch wide wheel so i was curious if it would fit, but i have since decided to go with the 7.5 to be on the safe side. Yeah I have been skimming through the set-up section on hondaprelude.com but there are so many 5thgeneration Ludes it takes forever!!

 

19s are huge on a prelude.

 

:thumbup: :bigok:

But they are sweet! I am thinking about the new Centerline Excel. 19x7.5 and they only weigh 15lbs.

Even though the wheel weight is low the tire weight is going to be a lot still. My Rota 17*7 weigh 17.5lbs but the wheel tire combo comes in at 42lbs. Making the tires in 215-45-17 24lbs each.

Have you been able to find anyplace that sells the Centerlines yet? I was looking at another one of their wheels a while back and couldn't find anyone to give me offsets.
