Why the F are you being helpful?!! Did you start taking estrogen to balance out the shark testosterone?

Doesn't everyone roll on ATLEAST dubs on the east coast, though?

Re: Rim size

in my opinion the staggered rims look better but with a 50/50 weight car you are supposed to run same size wheels like a 17x9 in front and rear but I run the 17x7 & 17x9 on the track but i was thinking of going with a set of 18s just for puttin around town in so i can get some serious tires on my 17s

Re: Rim size

The S2000 has staggered wheels because of the suspension geometry, not the weight distribution.

You think they have staggered sizes as a direct correlation to suspension GEOMETRY?

I mean...I guess it'd be true because of how the suspension geometry makes the wheels sit in the fenders...but...it's kind of a stretch.

Suspension DYNAMICS maybe.
