Post all questions regarding stock SI wheel and stock tire questions.
I plan to run my stock rims as winter only rims. The winters here are mild and roads are not crazy salted though and I have access to underground car wash so I can spray the car/rims regularly during winter time.Anybody running there stock 2013 si wheels as winter wheels? I was thinking about buying an aftermarket set of wheels for summer and using my tires on the si wheels for those and then buying a set of winters for the stock wheels, just wondering how well the stock wheels will hold up to the salt and stuff. The car will be gettin rust checked and the wheels will most likley get some overspray on them which should offer a little bit of protection but they are gonna get pretty salt covered over the winter. I didn't drive the car this winter but it seems kinda pointless to store a car that has heated seats and mirrors only to drive a beat up ol sunfire that breaks down and I can't fix it in the garage because my civic is in there all covered up..lol
235 is too wide for stock rims, I've seen guys up it to 225 45 17 on stocks and those fit fine. Remember the stock rims are 17X7.I just hit 18,000 miles, and was told my tread is bout 3mm on the back and 4mm on the front now. Basically I need new tires. Do you guys recommend going with the same size as the stock michelin tires? I was looking at getting Yokohama S-Drives.
I really want to get 17x9 RPF1 +35, but I can't afford those yet. :/
Didn't know if I could get 235 40 17s, and fit those on the stock si wheels?
What did you end up doing about the TPMS?I run steel wheels in winter and have my stock wheels for summer. I agree with Scotty, the roads are crap and full of salt so why run alloys? I got my 17" steels brand new for $80 a piece. I also kind of like how the car looks with them on. Just the black looks nice.....not so much the steel wheel.
I'm gonna bet they're the same as the 18" HFP wheels.Anybody have the specs for the 2014 stock 18" rims? Are they 18"x8"? What's the stock offset and bolt spacing pattern? Thanks in advance!
Awesome! Thanks! You think there'd be rubbing issues with a bit wider of a wheel if you dropped the offset a bit? I'm only going to be on an Eibach Pro-Kit.I'm gonna bet they're the same as the 18" HFP wheels.
The offset on the '14 Si wheel is 47.The HPD wheels from the CR-Z are 18x7.5 with 45 offset. More clearance for the brakes.
I see. Interesting development. And 7.5 inch wheel.The offset on the '14 Si wheel is 47.
