[will6946]

Just purchased some EVO enkeis just wanted to know if I would run into any rubbing issues, I'm lowered on eibach pro kit with factory tokicos.. was just wondering any input will be greatly appreciated, will be running 215/40/17 tires.

There are a few people on here that have them. One guy... o0n8 in Ohio has a set on his car and they rub like hell.

 

[will6946]

Is he lowered alot?

 

[will6946]

It could just be his tire size though.

I got one question to will stock 07 civic si rims would on the mp3/msp because he has an extra set of rims

 

[will6946]

Depends on the offset and the width.. I had to roll my Fenders because I'm lowered on eibach springs and the rims are 17x8 with offset of 38

Honda wheels have a smaller bore in the middle, but if you enlarge it they will fit.

How would I do that

 

[will6946]

Machine shop, u will need to enlarge it to a 67.1 mm I believe

 

[POLARBEARsMP3]

what kind of machine shops

 

[POLARBEARsMP3]

2003 Mazda
Protege

Bolt Pattern: 5x114.3
Center Bore: 67.1
Hardware:12x1.50 Lug
Offset: 40-50mm

2007 Honda
Civic Si

Bolt Pattern: 5x114.3
Center Bore: 64.1
Hardware:12x1.50 Lug
Offset: 40-50mm

so pretty much the difference is the center bore

 

[hornsfan10609]

What kind of machine shops are there? Any shop should be able to. Are they just regular SI rims? Honestly if you go through the trouble to do that I would find some TL type S rims or maybe the optional SI rims (forget what brand they are), normal SI rims are pretty common, although not on a Protege. And you would have to find some different center caps, the H center caps would be just wrong on a Mazda.

U know that about the H he is not using them and he doesn't have his Honda anymore

Did anyone find out if they rubbed or not? I'm on stock suspension also looking to buy evo 8 enkeis

 

[hornsfan10609]

OP has them on his car now so I would say they don't depending on tire size.
