^^Steve... wheels look good... I finally got them back to my house.
Thanks for the awesome deal!
And maybe someone can help me...
After seeing the wheels/tires installed on my car, it doesnt seem like ill be rubbing (255s all around on 17x9 volks with 63 offsets)
I guess ill remove the top clip in the front? and maybe roll the rears? Knowing me, ill fix it when I see something start to bend
Looks good Cale. You won't rub the rears at all. The fronts will at least rub the liner clips if not more.
right on, those are it. I did the rears by doing the same on the metal, pushing up the bumper tab and shaving some of the bumper lip... not sure you'll really need to at +63 though...

in action...
only mods so far:
work xd9's with bridgestone re01r's, used for daily and auto-x/lapping days
5zigen long open end lugs (blue)
spoon xbrace
cusco lower tie bar
cusco upper strut bar
k+n fipkII
ate superblue brake fluid
goodridge ss brake lines
stock rotors/pads
stock suspension
(doing quite well vs. other car times too...car is basically stock lol)
next mods:
maybe do CR suspension (shocks+springs+fr/rr sways), have done the research already...stiffens things up, but not overly done like many aftermarket co's do...would be a nice upgrade. also doing aftermarket streetable brake pads too. i like to "run whatchu brung..."
if you have an AP1 you do not need a CG front sway bar, they are the same diameter, AP1 is 0.1 mm bigger, the rear sway bay is thinker in the CR than the ap1.

i think you're right about the CR and AP1 front sway sizes being almost identical, but the key difference with the CR bars is:
honda made the walls 19% thinner
it has a 36% increase in roll stiffness (front)
(and they actually went -10% with the rear sway bar as vs. ap1).
