i just picked up a used 01, mostly stock and i'm looking at getting some wheels. i'm going with 17x8 in the rear but i don't know if i should go with 17x7.5 or 17x7 for the front. these wheels will be for street and some autocross use. what offset should i get because i might be getting spoon front calipers in the future. also, what tire size should i go with.

thanks,

 

The wider the wheel the better... For Track I run 235 front and 255 rear...The more rubber up front the better the car turns in...

Ohh I forgot the offset for spoons cal. someone help him out!!!!

 

i don't think 255 will fit too well on 17x8, i'll probably go with 245. that's what i have on the evo now. if the front is too wide, would that give me too much over steer? should i go with 17x7 or 17x7.5 for the front?

I ran a 9 in the rear, you are going to have some oversteer cause its the nature of the beast... Personally i would run 7.5 front....
