The offset is different on the type r to the rsxframpo said:i've already been through that topic and alot on honda-tech but from what i read it appears the type R is wider than the RSX, there are alot of people on there running lower offsets and there cars dont appear to have had any work done. just wondered if anyone on here knows if they will fit.
et value is possible, but the width is maybe a problem. i assume the 9 inch go on the front yes??? it means the wheels are 2 inches wider so that's quite a lot. it also depends on how low ur ride is. i had 7,5 inch wide with 215-45-17 et45 and on the back it rubbed, but my car is lowered 2 inches in the back. i had to roll the rear arches and that's cause of the et value, et 60 is standard.frampo said:i've found some Work Emotion CR Kai and am wondering if they will fit, they are:
17x8 ET47
17x9 ET44
i was looking at running the 17x9 at the front if possible.
i will probably be lowing the car on eibach sportline springs which say up to 50mm on the front and 30mm on the back. i would run the 9inch wheels on the front as its where the traction is needed. i dont mind having a little bit of camber, but my civic got through tyres every 6 months or so due to its height:donkeykong said:et value is possible, but the width is maybe a problem. i assume the 9 inch go on the front yes??? it means the wheels are 2 inches wider so that's quite a lot. it also depends on how low ur ride is. i had 7,5 inch wide with 215-45-17 et45 and on the back it rubbed, but my car is lowered 2 inches in the back. i had to roll the rear arches and that's cause of the et value, et 60 is standard.frampo said:i've found some Work Emotion CR Kai and am wondering if they will fit, they are:

No offence fella, but that information isn't really of any use to anyone. The offset and width will determine if a 17" wheel will fit (ignoring spoke design/caliper clearance in this instance) like what Rob R has posted up.Thread resurection apologies but just thought id add that the DC5 i am due to pick up has a set of these on. I believe they are a 17" but are deffo CR Kai rims.
