Im about to trade my fresh gunmetal Rota GT3's with 4 oem Honda caps mounted on Toyo Proxies 4 70% tread for my boys SSR type c gunmetals for some reason rears are 16" and fronts are 15" were on a Del Sol prior to him getting em. They are mounted on Bridgestone RE-11 fresh sticky tires paid over $700 alone giving him single row racing radiator/fan. New oem replacement axles/oem mid shaft. 3 integra engine mounts. Cheapy lug nuts Should I do it I know these rims are super sexy but not rotating & tires are gonna burn quick with my driving style

 

There is no advantage to getting wider rear wheels on an Integra, and you won't be able to rotate your tires. I wouldn't go that way.

 

I understand there is no advantage & would loose the ability to rotate the tires but retail per wheel (ssr) are about what a set of 4 of Rotas are his tires have like 4 track days tops small local go kart track SSRS even have high dollar RAYS volk stems. The tires are not necesarily wider wheels are just larger I think they are 202/45-16 & 205/50-15

 

put 16" at the front & 15" at the rear

 

Wont that look akward ? Plus less weight uo front the better right ? Or will it handle better

 

I would trade for the ssr's then sell them to buy another set all in the same size of course. just my .02

 

Ya thought about that id feel bad though hes got over $1300 invested & im trading him parts too..... eh well lifes tough who cares maybe ill rock em for a while, & sell them later. They are really good looking wheels and u hardly see em around tires are sick too only 180 treadwear kinda scarly thats like 2mos of driving might get some harder compound for fronts n keep these guys for Fontana 1/4

 

 

This man knows what he's talking about

 

Sarcasm ?

 

No, fact. Look at most Japanese tuner demo cars based EG/DC/EK and you'll see larger or wider wheel/tire combos up front. That is supposed to promote better rotation.

 

Lots of reverse staggered set-ups here: https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-acura-28/reverse-staggered-lookin-pictures-2461164/

 

did you say the delsol guy was the original owner? i would be willing to bet a paycheck those wheels were originally purchased by a toyota MR-S owner. i see that size/stagger/lug pattern all the time.

 

IDK the offsets but pretty sure that his buddy got em new for delslow idk for sure

 

ask him who he got them from.

 

 

u did it! looks good playa. did you notice a difference in handling?

 

Um ya definatley hugs ground better these are a lot stickier compound vs my toyos 300 tread wear Bridgestones only 180 these are same compound as azenis etc I like it looks good, still need to clean em up though
