i have a AP1 and i wanted to get some rims that were 17 x 8 +35 in the front and 17 x 9 +35 in the rear. will that fit? and my car is lowered to so im sure i will have to roll my fenders. i dont know to much about offsets so i need some help. and with a 9in rim with a +35 offset how big will the lip be in the rear. i really wanna go for that "staggered" look. any help would be great! someone told me that the biggest i could go was a +44 offset on a s2k. is that true?

 

+35 is nearing M3 offsets lol .. no way you can fit that w/o extreme work my friend ..


Take it this way .. x9 +63 is already flush ....

 

you coouuuld do it but with alot of work

1. Roll the fenders and fronts will have to be flared
2. Run looots of camber -3.5 or even -4 in the rear and fronts probably -2.5 or -3
3. Streteched tires 215 front 225 rear
4. NO MORE than 1in. drop.....if your on springs id get the Tanabe's .8 drop

All that and you may have a chance.....depending on the rim you'll have a VERRY NICE lip in the rear .....dont think you will have great performance with this setup though its strickly for looks

 

the 2 above post is all

1. Fenders dont need to be flared or pulled
2. thats overkill on the camber
3. 225 rear?? come on guy please think about what your posting
4. he can go lower then a 1" drop

1.now a simple rolling of the fenders is all you need my friend and for the rears u will need to relocated the bolt and trim the bumper tab.
2. you will be fine with 2-2.5 front 3 rear for your camber
3. stick with the 215 front 245 rear tires if u insist on a smaller rear tire 235 is ok but dont go lower....

and a x9 +63 is NO WHERE NEAR FLUSH... now with a 15-25mm spacer then it would be

yes.. but the 245 wont be stretched...

 

just listen to santos...

 

i have this particular set up.

you want to run 215/45 and 235/40 tires to be on the safe side. roll both front and rear. in the rear move the bumper tab as far back as you can and you should be ok.

 

and a pic of my fitment.

2.-2.5 camber
3.245 rear tire

and thinks the car can be slammed and will fit , this isnt a civic or integra sorry bro, theres no way , sorry thats all im saying ............Im Done

who are you talking about???

 

if your talking bout me... then i would be more then happy to prove you wrong... care to make a bet????

and WHO THE FUUCK said anythign about comparing it to a civic or teg... comments like that is why i hate 95% of the S2K owners out there....

anyways... YES it can fit the 235 will make it easier but a 245 can be made to work....

theres your post by the guy without a S2K.

 

and the real question is velocityracer, do you have an S???

if so, you have no idea what the fuckk you are talking about and should keep you ******* mouth shut... Santos has more knowledge than 99% of this board and i will take his word over some douche running his mouth...

ohh and i got $50 on Santos that hes right... any takers???

looks like i called this one, i haven't been on here long but it seems like S@nt0s knows what he's talking about. VelocityRacer have you ever tried to run low offsets because it doesn't sound like you have so why would you keep arguing something that you don't really know

 

17x8 17x9 +35 w/ 215/245 tires
