Best wheel/tyre combo for handling?

[JMSBND]

It depends on what you want and how you drive. Some people like the oversteer that non staggered offsets give you, some people think that a staggered offset gives enough oversteer as is.

Well what was your favorite R compound tyre on your CRX? If you really did like it maybe stick too it If you want a street tyre maybe look into some Bridgestone RE-11, or Advan AD07, maybe some Dunlop Z1? or Falken RT615. They are pretty hard to get overhere, The Tirerack quoted me 1.2kUSD landed last time for a full set of RE01R 225/45/17 and 245/45/17

Also research on afew aligments, and get a real aggressive one, don't hold back it sounds like your car is more of a weekend warrior then a daily beater.

As for rims, if it was me I would roll 17x9" CE28 non staggered setup for the track, lightweight and forged, and extremely hot! But thats me, I like playing with oversteer. And one really good thing about a non staggered setup? Tyre rotation

Here's a little info on running some non staggered setups check it out.

At the end of the day, get on the track with how your car is now, see where it's lacking and improve on that area. Handling is alot more about personnel preference/driving and tuning rather then slapping on a catalog of parts expecting to "handle". Also jump on the S2ki forums and read around, alot of personnel opinions there caus alot of the yanks race their s2000.

Mate thats a reply! I like your explanation of staggered offsets, and your right, its not a daily beater!

I will be looking at forged wheels, and after looking around, about a 17x9 with a +45 seems to be the go. I like oversteer, so I will get it on the track first and see how it goes stock first.

Thanks for the helpful reply!

17x9 +45 might rub. For 9 inch wide wheels +60 and greater is recommended.

Good thinking. You'll be surprised how oversteery this car is particularly compared to a FWD. Personally I can't imagine anyone looking to emphasise the oversteer nature of this car.
