If so, what offset are you running? What size tires? Any rubbing issues?

I want something that will line up with the stock fenders without having to roll them or flare them out or require a widebody kit.

Going to upgrade from Work Emotion CR wheels which are 17x8 (f), and 17x9 (r).

Any suggestions? Pictures would be nice also.

 

Check the offset/wheel size guide on S2ki. It has answers for everything.

If that doesn't work, find Riley on there. He knows everything about wheels

 

Heh, ok.

 

my friend is running 18x10 in the rear. he rolled his rears and is running alot of negative camber

 

Wanted to stick to 17s and didn't want to have to roll fenders at all.

it have little to do with 17 or 18, unless you want to run smaller overall size(which is not recommended).

i don't see how you could get away with rolling the fender with 10 inch width rims.

Me 2 no problems just tire wear..

 

the work emotions you are looking at are im assuming the +44, +47 offset. These are moderately aggressive and you would have to run a stretched tire in order to achieve this without rubbing/ nor rolling fenders. a 215 up front, and a 225 in the rear. My friend is running a 235 on the rear of his 17x9 blitz 01's with a a +45 and barely clears but has occasional rubbage. You will lose contact patch in the rear because you WILL be running a smaller tire less than stock. a 225 stretch in the rear would be your best bet.

But they key is, are you willing to give up contact patch for looks? are you willing to run a smaller tire size thats way hella smaller than stock? thas all up to you. I for one love the stretch look, but many hate it. its'll all up to you

 

I'm not looking at purchasing any Work Emotions. They're already on the car. I don't want new wheels for looks, but for a better functioning car.

I'm going to be using a GT35/40R w/ a 50-75 shot of nitrous (~750rwhp) and wanted the extra 1" of contact patch for traction.

I may just keep the 17x9s in the back and use a 245 tire in the back.

 

If you are running a 17 x 9 now, you should be able to go to at least a 255, possibly even a 265 rear tire. I am running 17 x 9 +65 with a 255 40 17 with no rubbing what soever.

I have some brand new, unmounted, 245/45/17, Azenis RT-615s sitting here. I'll give these a try and see how well they do. I may order some 255s for the next set.

 

Who makes 17x10 wheels?

Work.

 

10" rear = overklill for most s2k's

tires are costly as well.
