I would go with the Rotas - they even make staggered 17s now

fr - 17x7.5 +48
rr - 17x8.5 +48

well, but there's a lot of people who run rims that are around +48 at all four corners. As far as options for the s2k, they're really isn't crap...so we have to make due w/ what we got...and i hate it

:crying:

anyways, i was really considering getting rims these summer...but being stuck between mugen, volk, and work doesn't really have me too happy (i know there are other options, but you know what i mean).

the +48 may work on a street car but def not on a track one. my new suspensions leaves no gap so i would rub for sure

the bumper itself doesn't rub, its those wind straiks under the front bumper that rub every where...i go under my car and looked, my front is fine, but the straiks are fucked up a little...im about 1.5'' lower in the front...

but the rotas in question are 8.5", not 8" like you guys are running. And it will depend on the tire he runs as well.
