boooooooo what?

OP: Not many of us run 17's with our R's, there's a few who do, have, including myself, but never have seen any CE28s in 17"... on an R.

 

my friend has 17" CE28N's on his CW R to clear his stoptechs, but its at the body shop right now

so why is it ok for him, but not for you

 

haha thanks guys...

i know not many of us run 17's... just a friend is selling some 17x7.5 +33 for a good price to me might pick them up so not sure. i currently have te37s 16x7 +42 offset on the car and i dont want to be running spacers to be clearing spoon calipers when i get them

That's because everybody's preaching the same **** time and time again about how 15s are best particularly in the now legendary 205/50/15 size.... rotational mass, unsprung weight and stuff that just makes all the physics nerds rally together and have a formula infested orgy.

The rest of those who trip on the basics of this are apt to agree that anything larger than 16s would be evil and ricey or something ridiculous of the sort.

The RTR DC2s ran a larger 17in. wheel at the time due to class rules and running the stupid Toyo T1-S tires. Either way, even with less than 200whp, it's possible to take advantage of the grip from the overall larger diameter tires if your setup demands something of the sort.

FWIW, some of the guys I know in Japan are running 235/40/17 fronts....

Beat me too it. I was just about to say they where forced to run a certain tire. I did read an article some time ago that RTR had wanted to run 16s and had entered the series thinking that where going to but again where forced to run the bigger wheel. If I can refind that article I will post it.

 

I thought the reason they ran the 17" wheel was because of tire sizes available. It wasn't that they were 'forced' to run a 17", but it just so happens a 225/45/17 was the smallest and widest tire that would work on the Type R's.

If Toyo would have made a 225/40/16, you can bet that's what tire they would have been on.
