Tires for the new kicks are in! I would have opt for 225-45-15, but there arent as many options (cost effective wise) for my daily 60mile commute.. nothing available with 300AA + treadwesr for this size. The S Drives should do for the TE37rt's.

Hey bro,

(71173-T5R-A10 https://www.hondapartsnow.com/genuin...3-t5r-a10.html #33) If I'm ever going back in there, then I'll probably order that part and do it OEM.

​​​​​ Maybe. I just saw that I did not have this part when I removed my bumper to fix the sag, but another member(USDM) did when he did projector headlights. Not sure if it was something they added to later years since mine is a 2015.

I would advise to do it sooner than later. I think my clips must have flexed so even though it's not sagging it still pokes outward a bit.

So I had to remove my Project Kics 10mm Spacers because for some reason, the cavities next to the bolt pattern holes would not allow the original stud to fit in! Such a bummer! Therefore, will be selling those off now. Finally installed!! (minus the Project Kics Iconix lugs)






Forgive me for the poor quality photos, my intention was to finally share my desired wheel setup! Finally another set of TEs! I share better pics very soon!

Cheers!

sounds good.

unless youre planning to go back to stock id just leave those 10mm on an cut off the stock studs. its not like you cant use factory wheels and lugs on them if you cut the factory studs.. something to think about i guess since it'll be free.

is your front rubbing at all? that's a pretty aggressive setup you got there.

I'm wondering about rub too, looks like you're lowered about the same as me, but I had to run camber bolts at max negative to get clearance. No spacers for me, either. Looks strange now with blizzaks on the stock steels, sunken so far in.

You have a point about just cutting off partially the OEM studs. I may consider that.

I am rubbing when I hit small dips on the road, its more evident when I have passengers in my car. I am more concerned for spirited drives thru curves and would like to roll my fenders soon for peace of mind.

Aggressive = Monster stance

Can you share pics with your camber bolts installed? I'd like to get a better picture. I have SPC camber bolts and considering on throwing them on for a little bit more negative camber at the front.
