no way in hell... go buy a 350z instead, you'll be happier with your wheel choice...

Just so you can take a pic of your cell phone in the wheel lip and post it up, right?

He's running 18x10.5 +30 and -4 degrees of camber on the rear + rolled fenders if I'm correct. "rijowysock" on S2Ki, owner of Rijo Engineering, he can pretty much get you any size WORK rim to your spec. Good luck.

what's the point of having such massive rear tires unless it's a drag car? I thought s2k's understeered... Personally I would squeeze the widest tires I could up front first.

It doesnt just have to be a drag car, anybody with a turbo or supercharged s2k making at least 300 whp knows that the rear end comes around really easy

thanks for all the info no i dont want wide wheels to take a pic with my cell and i have a treo 650 so the cell phone pic would be a big lip.. any who i wanted to run wide so with boost it will have a wider tire path four traction in the rear.. and no 350z..every one has one of those.

With the stock 16x7.5 rears I put bfgoodrich geforce sport ta (255/50/16) on them they are 1" taller than stock so it messes with your gearing a little but if you have boost you will like the longer gearing a bit more They also stock decently and have good stiff sidewalls so you can still have fun in the turns
Same tire on front but it was 215/55/16 so that front was 1" taller and wouldnt look goofy

Understeer? Maybe depends on the year, but most of the AP1s will oversteer big time. DON'T put wider front tires on it. Stagger is there for a reason.

I would get a 17x9 rear rim, some asm over fenders, and run some 275's in the rear. you dont want a big heavy rim in the back.

Nowhere in my advice did i say anything about the rsx not being a good track car...


Quote, originally posted by WHO YOU »

If you want to go in a straight line fast... it would be easier with an rsx. Theres a difference in prices too... so if you opt for the rsx, you can put the money that you saved on the car into the motor and have yourself a pretty quick car. Good luck keeping up in the canyons or at a real track though .. Ive got an 05 rsx-s and an 06 s2000... both are great but i can honestly say i havent taken the dc5 out ever since i got the ap2 because its so much more fun no matter what you are doing... </TD></TR></TABLE>

does this thread refresh your memory when you were being the biggest douche-bag of all of honda-tech? how about you stfu and mind your own business.
