I can't even call that a stretch

No, that's the owner. He wasn't happy with the fit. He envisioned I believe a meaty track look but it ended up being too wide.

Anytime! I had to update the last 6-7 videos!!

Also, what's OIR?

Jon Widmer Operation Inherent Resolve

Agree 💯%!

You didn't say specifically in the video, what aspect of these wheels caused the fitment to be so off? Was it the width? Offset? Or a combination of both? Looking at wheels for mine and don't want to end up like this. Isn't 8.5 really wide for an EF?

Ray Evans Combination of both. An 8" wide can fit fine but you'll need an offset between +35 to +40. You'll see plenty of track EFs that run those specs. Some negative camber will also be needed and as well as rolled fenders to fit that spec. He could've just ran a lot of negative camber but that wasn't his plan.

Would the 15x7.5 35 Hypergrams fit alright without excessive negative camber? Love the looks of the wheel, but hate the stance look with tons of camber. Thanks for the response!

Ray Evans Yes, much better. Check out this video by Casey Hardman. He just got a set of the Hypergrams in that exact spec. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b858fsuU35eslJ8.html

KingAres Really appreciate you saying that, means a lot!

Thanks man!

Agreed on the stretched race tires.

Yup, I try to tell him over and over! He never listens!

Jon Widmer He sounds like my wife lol

I'll make sure to tell him that!!

Jon Widmer LMAO!

That's the goal! 😎

👍

Spot on Casey, my friend knows this too, he can just be so impatient and hard headed!! He had some Enkei 92's in the 15x8 with a 195/50 and he already knew the fit.

Oh I'm the same way, so I understand! lol

my 15x8 et12 fit well with a little oem camber low and 195 45

mines slammed with a 195 50 on 15x8 and the front in turns can barley fit a playing card in between the tire and fender

I agree

Glad you like the info!! 👍🏻

Sounds good!!

Yo, thanks man!

You picked the perfect size!! Got any pics or an Instagram I can check out?

I like this size. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hs6UeZZ21LeVg5s.htmlsi=g9_vBonpcLEw20z1

Agree!!

Awesome, good to hear! Go slow so you don't make any mistakes!

Agreed, but this wasn't too bad of a stretch,p. The wheels were just too wide and the offset too much to fit on this car. These probably would have fit your car like a baller! Lol

Updates coming soon. Ive been busy.

Cool, looking forward to it!

Casey Hardman you'll be set with that fit, what's the offset on the 7.5's? I like the S drive tires a lot too. They have a nice sporty look and some great grip for your cruise videos! Did you get the white gel costed wing?

They have a 35mm offset, so it should sit pretty square with the 205s! And I did! I had to remove the spray nozzle for it to fit, but other than that, it's great.

Casey Hardman That'll fit great, you might need a little negative camber in the rear if you have DA rear discs, if you'll still on drums or CRX Si discs, it should be flush! Make a new video when it's ready, I'd like to see the fitment!

Oh I'll be getting it aligned at the same time since the Innovative traction bar will need adjusted. I'll definitely be doing an update video soon!

Casey Hardman what’s the weight of your wheels with that setup? (205/50r15 on these konigs)

Get the 7.5" wide Hypergrams. Those would fit fine and the 205/50 will fit those perfect.

Yes, you know him buddy!!

+Kyle Govan 205/50 are too much for a 6.5" wide wheel. An 8" wide tire on that skinny of a wheel makes it too bubbly, now on a 7" wide wheel it's perfect. The 205/50 on 15x7" is my favorite size for tires on an EF. The S Drive are much stickier with the 300 TW rating, but they will wear out faster compared to the 460 TW on the Dunlop. My friend bought the Dunlop because the car is daily driven 98% of the time. The other 2% he might be driving it hard, but it's rare. I really like the way the Dunlop feel. I just got a used set of S Drives on my new track wheels which I'll swap to a different set of wheels and I'm axnious to see how those feel, especially after hearing your opinion also!!

They'd fit with some pretty heavy negative camber but he wasn't shooting for that look.

+Rosario Salinas how did that ride on such a skinny tire?

Definitely!

No kidding, I'm grateful for the weather we have!!

BattleGroundAuto He's from WestEnd correct? if that's him I'm familiar with it and love it. That fit is on point!!

Yep exactly! I haven't ever met him but his shop is legendary and there was a feature done on his blue hatch a while back. It is just a good car haha. I plan on copying as much of it as I can lol. I got a ton of parts going on the hatch this upcoming month and I'm seeing what wheels come in 15x9 +35-36 other than the 6ul's to finish it off. I have a long history with RWD but something about the EF is just so amazing.

I agree, that size is barely a hair larger than the 205/50 too!

I just purchased a 15x8 +35 with 225/45/15 tires, they'll be going on my DA9. If my calculations are right they should fit nicely and work well for track days.

Damnitsrandum16 Those will fit great especially for the DA. You have a larger when well and that offset will be perfect. Which wheels did you go with?

I got the wheels on ebay, its the Traklite Burn. Its basically a flow formed cast wheel. makes them pretty light (12.5lbs each). its basically a rota slipstream in 15x8 and a bit lighter

I'll make a quick video of my setup when the wheels come in so you can check them out.

Agreed, he's almost pushing the mexi-flush look in the rear. Haha

Jon Widmer the white Ef looks great even if it wasn't what u wanted homie great looking cars non riced out makes me proud to own a Honda like u pimps

SmOkEoUt hell yeah man! This guy is actually probably going to put the 195/50's on the Konig and camber the rear in a little bit. I'll make a small updated video if he does!

I'm looking to swap my 96 ej9 hatch it's a d16 non vetch .....in your opinion what would be the best swap to go with? Don't want to spend to much on it I'm trying to keep it under. 2000 grand 3000 at most

Exactly, I'm not a fan of that crazy poke either.

Thanks so much for the support, it means a lot!! I'll update the video with the song and I'll respond here when I do. I'm on my phone and away from my laptop at the moment!

Updated music credit!

Looks good though doesn't it?

@@GarageBuiltHondas I’ll find out Saturday when I get them mounted and balanced lol

Nah, they'll look great. I've seen those in that size on stocks. You'll dig it!

@@GarageBuiltHondas I’m glad to hear that cuz I was nervous they wouldn’t look right lol. Thanks 👍🏻

👍

👍🏻

lol

+20. Unless you want a wheel that's slanted inwards and that kind of look. The +20 will be far less camber needed to fit.

@@GarageBuiltHondas do you think I’m going to have to roll my fenders regardless

Yes

@@GarageBuiltHondas okay thank you 👍🏼

+Robert Reid that's a perfect setup and size too for these older Hondas.

15x7+35

My wife and I have an old high school friend who started designing clothing after high school and does artistic stuff. She had him make it for me for my bday 3 years ago! I'll show it up close in a future video!

Glad you got a kick out of it too! I love those Azenis, great tire for the price and grip is still good!!

Anthony Sterling 👍

These are stock. I believed it is the matte gray one. It's been a long time since he's had these though.

@@GarageBuiltHondas for sure, thanks for the reply back 👍

singlecams I'm in Texas. Konig Helix comes in 15x9, I believe Advanti Racing Storm and possibly the Konig Dial In. All good flow formed wheels for good prices too!

Alfredo Robles It'll fit but might look very beefy if they are only 7" wide, even worse if they are 6.5". I'd only get those sizes on a 7.5 or 8 wide wheel. You planning on a new set of wheels?

7 wide and 35 or higher offset. Probably a 195/50 or 55 tire also.

Seriously!! Are you going 225/45?

i had 225/45 rs3's on my kosei k1 when i had my hatch. my next honda will have 225 again.

Nice, love those wheels!

I run 195 45 on my 15x9's

Kurt Cobain that stretch would've fit his car better than what he had went with.

I agree. This guy is weird about his cars, he could've just added the rear camber and call it a day.

@@GarageBuiltHondas The back looked funny to me. my new set up is 215 16x8 20 offset and imma have to roll my fenders some.

Measurements of?

@@GarageBuiltHondas Your coil overs

At the time Tokico Blues with Skunk2 coilovers

Jose Correa 15" is probably the best size. The tire size will depend on the width of the wheel and how things/meaty you want it to look.

Jon Widmer 195/50r15

15x6.5 or 15x7 will be best for that tire size

Jon Widmer thank you man i appreciate the info good job on the videos keep up the good work

You'll need some camber to help that offset stay under the fenders but it should be ok.

You should, you'll gain confidence over time and I bet you'll even grow to really enjoy it!! I love making videos, it's always a lot of fun!

Andres Duran appreciate it!!

205/50

It really depends on the car and the wheel well. I'd Google some of those sizes that you are interested in and see what you like. You'll find images for every size.

15x7 fit well

On a DA it would probably fit well. I know the DA has a much larger wheel well. I would go with a 16" for a DA though. That body looks good with a larger size!

Jon Widmer whats NARU stand for? just wondering! Thanks!

John widmer

Enkei J Speed in 15x7 +38 with 195/50 tires

Now that would be the shit, those Osaka fenders are badass! He said it too, "live and Lear", I'm hoping he learns this time. Haha

Jon Widmer are you working on any projects right now that you are going to flip?

Ryan Ramirez None right now, I haven't found any!

kendrick Lamar I like the track styled look even on my daily drivers also.

Jon Widmer by any chance do you know of any rear performance crossmembers for the wagovan?

A lot of people run 205/50 on an 8. Should help give you a little clearance under the fenders too.

I think so too, an 8" with a +35 offset would fit well. I've seen that size on a handful of EF's!

Those should fit really nice

@@GarageBuiltHondas thanks for that!! :)

Hahaha

Not yet, been working on it!

+Lane Browning I've seen a lot of Cali cars with those old school wheels that have low offset with thin tires. It seems like it'll be a close fit, but I've never had any experience with it. I'm a fan of meat tires and functional stance so I'm not the best option. Maybe as a few of the guys on Instagram what they run when you see a post.

Garage Built Hondas I am the same way which is why I ask someone who knows lol. I like track stance and thicker tires personally. Show stance with some camber is cool but I pick functionality

+Lane Browning Especially if you're driving it frequently. Let me know what you decide on when you get a set.

Both are in the video! 👍

I do not know. You'd have to do some digging around online to see people who have used that setup before.

Easily, and it'll look nice and meaty. What's the offset on the wheels though?

That's perfect

Garage Built Hondas with 205/50s you think?

Perfect! (15x7+35 205/50) is my favorite setup

It'd work. Needs more camber and more pulling of the front fender. My friend didn't want to run it like that.

@@GarageBuiltHondas Anyone have some suggestion for my fitment? I use bbs chr front 16x7 et40 and rear 16x8,5 et30 on my honda city 2006.. Using 195/45 for front and 225/40 for rear its good? Or maybe 215/45 front and rear? you or anyone can help me? Need some advice..

I would Google the tire sizes on the wheel sizes and look at some images. There's a pretty good amount of tire pictures online to get an idea of what you're looking at. I'd also Google some inages of your vehicle to see some other wheels package installed.

@@GarageBuiltHondas u have recomend?

I don't. I couldn't tell you what fits well on a Honda City, I'm not familiar with the body and wheel wells.

+Daninferior lol

Garage Built Hondas, yo dood, i live in az too, yr videos are legit. I have a 91 wagon w/a blown b20 on 527's, i wanna drop a k in it but im broke. Keep making vids dood, yr doing cool shit

+Daninferior thanks man!! You should scoop up another b20 for now. They are cheap in Phoenix!

Just depends on tire size next

15x7+35 Advanti Racing Storm.

ok thank you!! Im going to buy them but before i do is there anything else you bought for them being that I am purchasing them from a company that specializes in Mazda.

Yes, tires. Lol

It's technical a stretch as a 205 is only 8" wide. Racers do it for less sidewall flex in corners which I understand completely.

Hahaha!

205/50

Garage Built Hondas thanks 🙏🏼

@ :38 seconds in.

+Boon dawg 15x7 +32 195/50

Which video?

Easily! Look up a youtuber names "Casey Hardman". He has them on his hatch but he has 205/50 tires if I remember. The 195/45 will fit easy especially if you want to be real low!

Garage Built Hondas not trying to be suppeerr low but a nice drop like your Si

Garage Built Hondas thanks for looking out!

might grab those falken azeni's that you have on there ;) are those 205/50?

Carlos Maybe go for a 195/50 then instead. The 45 series will be pretty skinny and you'll have to be real low to make it look good. The 50 give you a little more meat.

That's really up to you. There's a lot of styles with a lip. It's more up to what you can afford.

Need a size of wheel and off set plus tires recommendation

15x7 +35 to +40, 205/50 tires

i have 195/45 proxes on my 15x8.5 drag wheels 20+ offset. there is a huge stretch and unless you have camber kits and coilovers your going to have a hard time fitting them low.

Noah Pollack I'm more concerned about popping them to be honest because of the stretch. Do you beat on yours?

With that 15x8 I would get the 38et. You can run a 205/50 tire on that 15x8 and have a really flush look without popping out. That 0et would definitely make the wheels stick out and bring unwanted attention. Thanks for the support!

If you're an offset/camber guy who likes skinny tires on wide wheels, they'll fit well with rolled fenders and camber. You'll need a 195/45 tire probably to be happy.

👍🏻

How wide are the Konig wheels?

Garage Built Hondas Im trying to use 15” since the stock wheels of my car is 15”

Garage Built Hondas so Im just trying to change the wheels of my car not include the tires of it boss.

They should fit unless you're going with a really "wide" wheel. I understand the diameter is 15" but if you use like a 6.5" or 7" wide you'll still be fine.

Garage Built Hondas sweet! Im ready to order now, appreciate your reply boss have a good night.

They are a really nice looking wheel!

205/50

👍🏻

15x7 205/50

@@GarageBuiltHondas tnx

kracksmith4ejm1 The reverse stagger would be sweet especially for a track car. His is just a daily driver though. The compressor air blown onto the tire helps set the bead. since the tire is stretched it doesn't reach the edges of the wheel, when the compressed air is shot onto the edges it fills into the tore stretching it to the bead, thus the pop into place when the bead sets.
