so i found a good deal on some s2000 stagger so should i got with 17x8 and 17x9 with 35 offset or 45 offset? whats more agressive and what tires should i run i dont want meaty tires either

i-VTEC_DOHC

im going to run 17x9 with a 35 offset and get spacers for the front when i get my rpf1's.
but im more concerned that the pro s isnt going to lower it enough for my tastes on the 225 40 17

Why run spacers? Those specs are flush and concave already.

i would never run staggered wheels on a fwd car. i think the 17x8 would be wide enough unless you're just going for looks, in which case the wider the wheel and the lower the offset the better.

K5^

Not even with the wider wheels up front?

BRIANxJDM

yeap reverse stagger FTW!

vladd

nope. i think it just looks wierd. the 17x8 rpf1's in black are still on my to-buy list, probably not till next summer though . op, get pics when they're on .

i-VTEC_DOHC

i was planning on running a staggered set up with rpf1's for the past 6 months now lol i was on the itr's for a while, but i just decided to go with rpf1's. i want to get extended studs for the front and run like a 7-10mm spacer up front for a slight staggered look.


i was either considering the matte black or sbc. im leaning towards sbc right now.

vladd

i've always loved the look of flat black wheels, the polished ones are too blingy for me

i-VTEC_DOHC

yea but someone already has black rpf1's on this forum lol i gotta be different.
i live in so-cal so all the rims got be bling bling shiny shiny

vladd

eh, the rpf1's are popular enough that somebody has every color on every car out there. i stick with what looks good to me, i don't care if it's unoriginal or unpopular.

i-VTEC_DOHC

^well i want the sbc ones lol

vladd

hahaha gotcha . put up some pics when you get them.

K5^

I was going to get the 17x8 +35's but opted not to.

Staggered on FWD is teh ghey! Let's not forget how it would increase under steer.

i-VTEC_DOHC

oh it increases understeer?? well then i wonder why spoon uses staggered setups on their cars =/

K5^

Are we talking about show stagger or functional stagger? Wider fronts is what makes sense here.

vladd

i've always heard that wider wheels in the front would decrease understeer, i just don't like how it looks.

K5^

That was the impression I was under.

Kidnkorner

Wider in the rear increases under steer.

i-VTEC_DOHC

functional. spoon uses 245 up front and 215 in the rear on their fd2.



i was talking about wider up front.

K5^

IIRC they were 255f/225r. Either way the fd chassis allows for such wide fronts to be mounted.

FijiBlueFG2

Wider up front decreases understeer.

BRIANxJDM

yeap like everyone said 17x9 in the front and 17x8 in the back

RPF1's are hella JDM Tho

I see a set every day around here, ill say they look good an an s2000 tho. Theres a black s2k with Rpf1's flat black and a sick *** sounding exhaust.

Kinda slow tho, caught him on the freeway before.

unless he wasnt racing
