Wheels and Body Kits

a716 · #1 (**permalink**) 08-03-2005, 11:07 AM

Currently deciding between getting a Jazz and a Civic here in the UK. I think looking at some of the pics here as made up my mind

Is it possible to fit 16/17" wheels to a stock Jazz without any body kits?

Also any one know any online shops that will sell a body kit and post it to me in the UK?

Hi,

For the wheels, it's certainly possible - check out these guys as an example of what you could use: Performance Alloys

As for bodykits, I don't think there's much around at the moment, in the UK at least, although there's probably a few options within Europe.

I'm going for a Jazz, although I like the new 2006 Civic more than the old one.

Possible, yes, but not recommendable. The reason is simply because the added weight of big rims, along with the vast oversize causes the Jazz to handle like sh|t. You'd be best off with a light set of 15"!

I do

I can get all the Mugen and Spoon stuff if you'd like that. I could prolly also get a hold of BuddyClubs bodykit. That being said - the Jazz doesn't need too much to get that custom fit. A nice set of rims, mayge a few lips...

I agree. It is possible to fit 16/17" wheels to a stock Jazz without any body kits. Just check the width and the offset of the rims and use the correct tire size so that there will be no problems. Regarding the weight of the rims, a lot of 16" or 17" rims are already lighter than the stock rims so there will be no issues there.

I use 195/50. I didn't like the feel of 205s because the steering wheel was too heavy.

For 16's, just to be safe, run either 195/50's or 205/45's.

is it safe to put a 205/50 tires, 16x7JJ +42 offset mags on the jazz? will the tires will rub the fender liner while turning left or right? thanx

It will not rub the fender liner when turning but it might hit the screw brackets holding the rear bumper.

I just got a set of 17x7 inch enkei's on my jazz . But you really have to go for low profile, i'm currently using 205/40. And the weight increase was exactly 2kg for me. i originally had the 14 inch rims. But your striaght line performance suffers fairly badly & so does your fuel economy. :'(

Hey up. Is that website any good. Because when i get my jazz i want some wheels which this website only seems to have. Are they UK or USA based, and do they deliver to UK if they are USA based. And are the specs of the cars the same as UK as in, if those wheels fit honda fits, will they fit honda jazzs? Do you understand what im tryin to ask?

I am using 16" Work Emotion CR Kai with 205/45 Yokohama DNA GP tires. Absolutely no problems unless the car is packed with five people then I get an occasional rub on the inner lip of the quarter panels. I have the Mugen body kit but it clears fine. Since I went with Work Emotion's I even shedded a few pounds, about one pound perwheel to be exact and the handling is unbelievable!

Hey Fit4783. Where did you get them from, the Work Emtion CR Kai? They are very nice!!

Fit7483 · #16 (**permalink**) 10-13-2005, 01:18 AM

Got the wheels and tires from Fuji Corporation. All total I spent $925 for wheels, tires, mounting, balancing and installation. They even applied the manufactures logos on the rims themselves.
