I bought new wheels/tires for the truck but

The offset on my wheels isn't enough.. I went -18 offset figuring they would stick out

Enough for my satisfaction but I'm wanting more.

 

Has anyone had any luck with bolt on wheel adapters? Are they safe?

Would doing just the front 2 tires be ok? Or would I need do all 4..

Considering maybe a 2" adapter fyi

On my 2010 i put 2 inch on. No trimming of the studs needed. I then put 1.25 on and had to trim the nipples off. 1.5 you may get away without triming but i doubt it. I had them on for 2 years. No problems

1.5" you still gotta trim that little nipple off stock studs, no biggie at all. They are fine as long as you torque them to spec then recheck after 100-200 miles. Then you should be fine. I ran them for years 37's.

it is not recomended. many people do with no problems but i have seen wheels that fall off due to spacers. however it is unk what kind of spacers they had or if the spacer/wheel was torqued to specs.

Glad to hear. What brand did u choose?

I got some no name brands off of ebay from a trusted seller and good reviews from the spacers. They were 130ish i believe

This^ they're on eBay for 135. The sellers feedback is legit. But like stallion said make sure they are torqued to spec and you'll be good. For every inch they stick out past stock it's 10 times harder on the front end parts. (Ball joints and such) and power steering pump. Not that it matters.. Just thought I'd throw that out.

Look for hubcentric spacers. People who lose their wheels are usually running the other kind of spacers. Hub centric disperses the weight of the wheel more evenly

      Sure, but they do have some affordable options like the Trax, Trailblazer, Envista, and Encore. Some of these have a cheaper base price than the Civic, though the fuel economy isn’t as high. The main problem is that people WANT the highest trim with all the goodies and finance for like 7 years. That’s how ppl “afford” the more expensive vehicles.

      Holy s**t - not much of a parts thrower you say? You BLASTED that thing with the parts cannon!  You'd have been probably $1,000 ahead if you had just brought it to a competent shop rather than shotgunning a bunch of parts it clearly didn't need.   Just FYI - oil additives are really, REALLY good at ONE thing ... and that's emptying your wallet. They're ALL useless gimmicks.   If that has the L94 or L99, then #7 is an AFM cylinder. I'd suspect a failed lifter in that case.   If you leaned on wiring, sensors, and/or connectors while changing the oil, you'll have to check all that to be sure pins didn't get pulled out, connectors broken, etc.. Old wire loom that was barely adequate when new is certainly brittle by year 19 - make sure wires aren't chaffed and shorting out somewhere where you might have leaned. or supported yourself on it.   If your a mechanic, why didn't you just find out what you were missing and troubleshoot from there??  TIMED spark, fuel PSI / injector pulse, air, compression.  Can't make ANY money going the parts cannon route.

      LOL! Are you joking?? That wax SUCKS! 100% gimmick made to "look" good.    After just TWO winters I had severe surface rusting in patches over 90% of the frame. Only reason it looks great in the pics is because I SATURATED the frame every single fall with used motor oil for 14 of the 16 years I owned it. Otherwise it would've been sent to the crusher 8 years earlier with the speed it was rusting prior!    I sold that POS 3 years ago. Was a gigantic headache the second it rolled off the showroom floor. Brakes pulsated on the TEST DRIVE. Door trim fell off the 1st week! Interior squeaked and rattled, and the drivetrain clunked after 2k miles. 4x4 switch failed shortly after. Front end - ball joints, struts, hub bearings - all failed between 38k-50k. Engine started burning oil at 50k. Rear and and transmission failed before 100k. Nothing but problems, and frustration with the piss-poor engineering designed to make you give up. Well, it worked! Nothing on that truck was easy to remove ... except the wheels. They haven't figured out how to screw that up yet. Give 'em time ...   I won't make that mistake again. EVER.   Such fond memories ... https://postimg.cc/K1qf23tS  https://postimg.cc/gallery/X02z64J  https://postimg.cc/gallery/mHSRXZv  https://postimg.cc/gallery/D4mMRfL

      OBD not ready?

      By davester · Posted

      Different monitors do their test only under conditions specific to that monitor.  you MIGHT find the drive cycle conditions for the monitor that isn't ready on this site: https://lemon-manuals.la/   If it's not there, then it should be on alldata.com for your truck, but it requires a paid subscription.   And you need to know which specific monitor isn't ready.
