Got my eye on some wheels........will they fit?

[JMSBND]

I can get some nice wheels for my S2k. Rays 17x8 front, 17x9 rear +45 offset. Will these fit ok? What rubber do I run? I have Eibach lowered springs and thats it. Figure since my 16" rubber is near dead on the rear I may as well get some slightly bigger rims for the street and leave the semi's for track days.

Thanks in advance.

they will fit just fine!

as for rubber, i suggest 21545/17 or 225/45/17 for front and 245/40/17 or 255/40/17 for the rear

those wheels specs are what id love to put on my car with the abovementioned tyre specs..

Agreed.

Preferred size to run in the good ol' US of A.

Yea should fit fine. Suggest you go with 215 and 245 front and rear respective. I have 225 on the front with a 17X8 +45 rim and it sticks out a tad too much. But some aggresive camber should fix that up.

They will fit but obviously needs a little bit of guard work
also I wouldn't recommend running them on springs

Guard work? Like rolling them?

Thanks for the feedback. Hoping to get them this week!

As for springs do you think they might rub?

Yea most likely will have to roll it. depending on what kind of alignment your running. Might as well roll it so you can run some 255's!
You also will need to relocate the rear bumper tab most likley. Your from the eastside right Jms?
If so let me know I know a guy around the Springvale area who can roll your guards, for a real good price too and not to mention his really good
If you roll it you might get away with running springs, but I still wouldn't recommend it they are just too soft to handle aggressive offsets. Not to mention springs are crap anyway :P get some coils I know you'll make good use of it too!

Oh why does everyone run staggered offset? I know thats what everyone runs on a street tune S2K. But WHY? Running same f&r offest eliminates any chance of understeer. Get 17x9 +45, with some 255/40's all round. Not only will look aggressive, it will be a turn in monster.

Ha Ha! true! That's clearly a Wtf back to me???

[JMSBND]

I was gonna run this setup because thats what the rims are. 8" front and 9" rear. The stagger, is it not as good handleing as same all round? I find my turn in is fine. I carry alot of corner speed no problem and the tyres I run seem ok even stock size at the moment.

All a bit new to me as I have always run FWD Hondas.

Thanks for all the advice.

Coil overs............yeah I would love to, but I already have Tein on the CRX, and I need to save for a new garage but yeah, def would love coilovers.

hey guys,

would 7.5" or 8" restrict you from upgrading brakes of any particular brand?
And if 225 stick out for the front, would it be discouraged to get 215front and 255 rear( besides, perhaps looking quite ridiculous)? --noob.
