Not sold. I will be selling with the car for the time being.

I drove with stock wheels for a short time and nearly threw up at how bad the difference is.

17x9 non stag FTW!

Plus best advantage of NON-Stag is you can evenly rotate wheels front and back. Running different offset changes that. You might as well run 17x10 in the rear.

how does running non staggered but different offset front and rear affect your ability to rotate tyres front and rear?

It doesn't. But rotations would involve taking the tires off as opposed to just switching your wheels from side to side, front to back.

unless the offset can fit both front and rear for eg. +63 rear and +53 front, if you switch it around it's still fine :P

I get you, I'm on low carbs and didn't think about that. +40 all round is the go I'd say. If you guys think you can daily with +35 on stock body I'd love to see it!

Everything is possibly, No way on this earth you'll fit 9" +35 and run 255 without flaring the factory guard to the B.S.

Apart from flaring to the sh*t house and running loads of neg camber I don't think it will do much for your handling unless you run a widebody - all good if you just want to park your car and look cool lol

lmao at low carbs - I'm still bulking...summers so far away

Not sure if anybody has been keeping an eye open on these, but to those track freaks out there... 949 Racing in the states, i believe have just about released the long anticipated 6ULR rim, available in a 17"x10". So it should keep all the track freaks happy. Hopefully i'll get my hands on a set soon enough, but i think there could be a large waiting time on these, not sure yet. Offset's are made to suit S2K with +52 and +72 being offered in the 10" width. You can also run a 10" rim on the front, but only in the +52 offset, obviously front guards need to have seen rolling and slight push outwards, which also means 265 on the front with a 275/285 on the rear. Very reasonable priced too at $289US a rim. More info can be found on S2Ki.

JAP - check this link out. MX-5 Centre is distributing the wheels here.

17x9 +63 $375 Each
17x10 +72 $425 Each
17x10 +52 $425 Each

nothing wrong with camber
+35 u would need around -3.5 (from what others are running which isn't bad considering i'm already on -3 camber)
widebody would be +22 :D :D :D

Just picked up some 2nd hand 17" white work emotions cr-kai rims... bargain price of $600 (without tyres) woot woot...

the shop i got it from has another set of ray's engineering chrome wheels that looked almost identical to the work cr kai with very good bridgestone rubber left for only $750 if anyone is interested in getting a set. Think they were 17 x 7 +52 offset.. non staggered set. Immaculate condition..
