work emotion cr Kais

[vtec23Q]

hey guys i was looking into buying a set of wheels for my 00 S2000, i have the work Cr Kais in mind but was wondering what the best offset will be for my car? i want to have a nice fat kinda look in the rear so what would be the best offset and size i should be looking at ? Cheers. :thumbsup:

Here you go buddy:

[dlai5552]

Make sure you get the ones where they front and rears both concave in!!!

[AusS2000]

Hmmm, 'concave' and 'high offset' are pretty much mutually exclusive.

[JN7]

18x8.5 +30
18x9.5 +30

[AusS2000]

Are you advising to buy this spec? Do you know it fits? Seems a bit wide and low offset to fit.

[JN7]

it'll fit. he wants fat right? :P
he didn't say anything about his intentions in regards to camber and what not but it'll fit provided he has the right set up - guard work etc.

[JN7]

and also, IF he is after that concave look he has to go pretty low offset (+wide)

[AusS2000]

Hmmm, ok so take their advice: dished, low offset, rear guard work and wheels at 45 degrees.

Or get some that fit.

[JN7]

his choice..
he hasn't been specific enough so we can run wild with our imaginations..

[AusS2000]

Well the alternative is something like what I run. They are Work S2Rs, 9" at the rear with 265 tyres. They have A 62mm offset. No rear end modification or ridiculous camber, and no rubbing.

[dlai5552]

Do not get the 18x8.5 and 18x9.5, it's going to have rear concave only. It's going to look funny.
You should buy the 17x9 +44 all round or +38 all round. Either way you need to roll your guards, but will look a lot better :)

[AusS2000]

Notice the OP didn't mention 'concave'. That appears to be your obsession.

[vtec23Q]

yeah i wasnt too specific its because i dont know much about my wheels so i said "fat look" but AusS2000 i think your offset is the way to go can u upload pictures of your wheels ? appreciate it

[drsilliez]

here are a few pics of mine :D what do u guys reckon?

yes it needs to be lowered but then i wont be able to get to work lol

Drsillies that looks hot but needs a bit of lowering but you might need to quit your job for that lol. AusS2000 I like that offset it's got that "fat" look at the rear now I just need to find myself a set of cr kais for a good price and I'll be set :-)

[JN7]

what's your budget?

Here's my old set @
17x8 +42
17x9 +44

[vtec23Q]

Well my mate picked up a set last week from extreme motorsports for 1200 with rubber, most I can pay is 1300-1400

[JN7]

oh right.. 2nd hand I'm assuming?

[vtec23Q]

Yeah of course second hand

[AusS2000]

I love this design. The 5 sets of twin spokes is my favourite and has been for years.

[dlai5552]

Sorry about the pricing as it's a bit high, but if you could something out then should Ho for these:

That's one way to make extra money

[AusS2000]

Seriously though I don't know how 9" wheels with 38mm offset will go on the front.

[vtec23Q]

i have already spoken to eKay1 about his cr kais, not really in my price range but cheers for letting me know ! :)

[dlai5552]

Haha "Ho"
But in regards to 9"
Definitely need a roll plus camber around -2 1/4 camber and also running staggered tyre fitment such ad 235/40 fronts and 255/40 reads.

[ludecrs]

Seriously though I don't know how 9" wheels with 38mm offset will go on the front.

They don't. LOL.
I run a 9" +43 front with a 245/40/18 tyre. Guards are rolled, but are ****ed.

[dlai5552]

They don't. LOL.
I run a 9" +43 front with a 245/40/18 tyre. Guards are rolled, but are ****ed.

Same here. LOL. except I've got 235's happening.

[AusS2000]

Ok, just saying 235 on 18x8 with a 51mm offset fits fine without modification. They used to rub on compression at full lock but that was because of my intercooler piping.

[amuse2k]

Play it safe, forget about offset.. Only thing it gives your is flattened arches..
