actually thats not entirely true, put some 17x9 on there with 255/45/17 tires oh man!!! amazing grip, but you have to modify a lot of stuff to fit all that...

not pretty looking on ek !!!!!

agree..they look ****..even the 16s are pushing it in my view.lol. i drove and eg6 with 18s on it and i tell you what..its was shockingly bad. designed and balanced with 15s in mind so why change it

 

[stevenEK9]

usually agree that 16's at a push.... but Spoon's k20 EK9 here is running 17's on the front and 16's on the back front wings have been tweaked oyut majorly to allow clearance though

here is mine on 17's must say they do change the way the car handles i have a set of standard but the 17's look good on it http://www.ek9.org/forum/photos-videos/2389-ek9-scotland.html

I used to have 16" JDM Integra wheels on. Swapped them for a Seeker manifold and now running stock wheels.

It looked good but it didn't feel right.

Loads better:

on the ek9, oem wheels>98 teg wheels

 

[lumek4]

they 98 JDM itr wheels look awsome on the 9. i want the 96 itr wheels on my ek4 but means changing the hub

 

[corral]

my mate's about to break a 96 teg up if you want the hubs and bigger brakes .

 

[stevenEK9]

96 teg's don't use big brakes or 5 lug hubs though......

 

[corral]

he is after jdm 96 spec rims, so he will need the hubs brakes etc,and they have bigger brakes than a vti......

**** or **** hot?

I've noticed a bit more pull in VTEC, was amazed at how light it was compared to the stock manifold too.
