Has anyone tried 19x8 1/2 on the front and 19x9 1/2?
depends on what offset but you'll need a roll :) you ALWAYS need a roll
Hey guys
will 18x9 +37 and 18x10 +44 fit under S2K guards?
thanks
yes it will, but it's going to definitely need to roll, and a bit of a pull/flare on your 18x10 (i think)
also, quite a bit of camber, but the stock camber adjustments should be good enough, and a tab relocation
but, that's an incredible set up you are going for!! would look awesome :D
Yeh definately will need some rolling and pulling but will look sooooo good :thumbsup:
ohh, also depends on your tyres size! what tyres will you be running?
My meisters are 18x10 +44 in the rear. Flare not necessary, just a roll and pump. As for tyres I just ordered new tyres and they came from Victoria yesterday. 275's in the rear.
it has 215/40 at front and 235/40 rearQuote:

Changing coils won't help wheel fitment, 215 will sit in slightly but not that much but it will help a tiny bit because the 225 is slightly oversiezd. If your front guards are rolled that's fine, because your running such a thin front rim it's hard to stretch without going under the standard 205 tyre.
Planning on getting 17x9 +45 wheels soon and was wondering what tire sizes I should run. I was thinking 245/40 all round. But after reading a few threads I saw some guys were running staggered tires on the same wheel specs. Any benefit in doing so?
And also does anyone know where I can get some kw v3's in aus or will the states (eBay) be my only option. I've already browsed thru the traders here.
The traders Forty-One on au.s2ki.com were offering them for some ridiculously low price. Look them up.
thinking of getting cr kais..
18x8.5 +30
18x9.5 +30..
comments?
Pushing it. I'm running 18x9 +66 on the rear.
And how does that sit? I've seen 9 +38 on the rears and it still tucks
Sits fine. I can't imagine anything with a lower offset and wider width not sticking out and needing some camber not to rub.
Oh, I'm running 265/35-18 tyres too.
As of yesterday, I run a 275/35/18 on the 10" +44

Driven over any bumps recently?
Two actually :p
Tyres are only fitted, nothing more. I'm supposed to be out in the backyard lowering the coils now, but after a 13hr sleep, I feel like shit, have a headache and can't be bothered.
It goes in Saturday for its camber & toe adjustments.

yes always need to relocate.
prob around -2 or -3 which is nothing anyway but no way to tell until you get it on.
nice, i'll settle for those sizes then.
off topic, but where can i get buddyclub n+ coilovers from? got quoted 1.5 from jdmyard.
usa ebay.. or jdm yard :)
1.4 cheapest..
anyone know what they call buddyclub n+ in Japan? apparently the dude I'm asking thinks there is.
It's called Junior Spec Damper.
can people use the search bar? bcuz this thread is being over used!
NopeQuote:

ok sweet
if i slap some 265s on my 18x9 rears with a offset of +38 will it clear my guards? or will i need further modifications
ive removed bumper tabs and have rolled and very lightly pulled the guards
i also wanna lower 1" from standard and have as much tire touching the road as possible so minimal camber
i recon you can do it..Quote:

A 265/35 with guard work will fit.
As pictured 2 pages back I now run a 10" +44 on a 275/35. Virtually no stretch, its almost a full tyre.
Unfortunately I've been hella-sick (sic!) and haven't had a chance to get my fitment sorted yet having not left the house for 4 days other than going to the doctors and chemist. Hopefully get around to it this week sometime.
how much camber can you run with stock arms?
btw, are your guards flared? I'm thinking about 10 +38 but I feel that's pushing it..Quote:

I'm debating on going staggered or non staggered, and don't really know the ups and downs of each.
Anyway the sizes are as follows:
17x9+60 (rear)
17x8+50 (front)
Or I could go 17x9+60 all around.
I was just wondering if this will fit without rubbing? 9 inches seems very wide for the front.
What would be the better option to go with and why?
On an 10" +43 with a 275/35 you NEED a flare...
if you guys have a look at this car... he's running 10 +38 and doesn't look like he has a flare..

No, it looks ridiculous.
because his running a 245 not a 275.. rolled and faily pulled but not flared.Quote:

255/40 all round. ^
17x9 +35 255/50 RE11 FrontQuote:

Reason why I mention RE11 is because it has slightly thinner sidewalls the other tyres in it's class ie. AD08/Z1 SS
Front guards extremly flared.
Rear guards flared slightly, bumper tab re-located, bumper trimed to almost nothing.
Yes I run this exact setup on the track and daily, it did rub on the track slightly but it's fine now.
Looking at running 265's next time round :D
-2 front and -2.8 rear

These pics were before the alignment by the way but specs were very close.
Sorry, but if you ain't this slammed you ain't trying hard enough.

I think this is a thread you need to stay away from.
I think that about much of OzHonda.
I think I'm going to go for a non staggered fitment with the PF01's and go 17x9+60 all around. I will probably run 255 tires all around also.
I am going to buy some Buddy Club N+ coilovers to go with the wheels, I was just wondering how low will I be able to go on this wheel size? My guards are rolled.
I'm aiming to drop it to 1 or 2 finger gaps.
lmao!Quote:

Ok cool.Quote:

you dont need camber with that setup.
i reckon 17x9.0 +54 would be nicer
17x9.0 +54 will prevent most scrubbing, but it's still going to scrub on the rear if you are lowered a bit.
I have 17x9 +45 all round, 235/40 on the front and 255/40 on the rear. Front guards were getting demolished even with a roll, so had to diy modify them a bit more!
Although, I am running PSS9's which are very soft.
These wheels only come in 17x9+60 or 17x9+48.Quote:

+54 shouldn't rub at all
+48 is pretty easy to clear as well, as long as you have a slight roll.
I'm going to go with +60
A guy who went from a +45 to +60 on 17x9's on s2ki swears that his car handled a lot better with the +60 offset.
While +48 would look better with more camber, I'm more concerned about performance than I am about looks. Having said that, being lowered and 9 inch wide tyres bring good looks as a bonus :D
Also, another guy on s2ki is running the same wheels and is sitting a little lower than I plan on going and he says he only rubs a tiny bit on the guard liner when he's on full lock.
a wider footprint would also have positive effects on handling and balance, though I'm surprised that guy could tell a difference. It's not something your everyday person would notice, could also be he tried difference rims/tyres?
Even with a +60 offset you would still want to run the same if not a similar camber settings to the +45.
He was doing Auto X on both setups I think. i'm surprised he noticed the differance too.Quote:

I hope I can achieve the required camber with the standard camber kit.
standard camber can go beyond -2.5 so nothing for you to worry about.
If you don't want oversteer then I would not recommend a non staggered setup as it's oversteer bias.
Good to know the camber won't be an issue.Quote:

I don't mind the oversteer being there, but it can't hurt to reduce it.
hey guys
newbie here
trying to go for the same look ludcres had
would these fit?
gold Work VSXX wheels
17x8 +40 F
17x9 +40 R
thanks!
Yes, need a roll and some camber.
^^ thanks for the quick reply,
would i need much camber? dont want o be chewing through tires.
thanks again
hi guys,i need some help here. does 18x8,5 +40 18x9,5 +40 will fit in s2k. without any problem.
coz someone wanna sell the rims.thanks guys.
nop will need roll all round and undersized tyres.
Not really for the camber, like -1.5 or -2 is what I use and my tyres wear out evenly and basically no scrub anymore.
Otherwise do as vyets says and get tyres a little stretch, it's only front you need to worry about. Also depends in how hard you drive! Track?
sorry is this for my question or somebody elses?Quote:

Oh it was for you. However, when you lower the car, you get a bit of camber anyways, so just roll the guards and that should be fine, depending on your suspension stiffness.Quote:

As said above.
My gold BBS RG-R's were 18x7.5 +48 F and 18x8.5 +50 R, but they had skinny tyres that they came with.
My white Work Meisters were 18x8 +35 F and 18x9 +45 R, with a 225/40/18 front and a 245/35/18 rear. You could easily fit a 255/35/18 rear in there, however both front and rear guards require guard rolling.
18x8 +35 was a bit of a hack to fit, so I suggest about an 18x8 +40F. The rear was a bit soft in comparison, so I recommend an 18x9 +40 rear - or there abouts - if you want a lowered, semi stanced daily driver capable S2K which offers very little inconvenience that width and offset are spot on IMO.
R 17x9+45 running 255
F 17x8+45 running 225
discuss!
THANK U EVERY MUChQuote:
