Default my rims are on!

so i got the rims mounted on the s2000 today. 17x7 +39 on 225/45/17 tires and the rears 17x9 +43 on 255/40/17 tires....and i was disappointed. =( the rears look way too "chunky" and i kinda want to switch back to a 245 tire. someone suggested getting a bit more negative camber so the wheel is a bit more tucked in the rear...

any other suggestions??

ur crazy! <--im only saying that cause im rocking 255/40/17!

what tires/rims? that might make a diff.

im using re-070...oem CR tires...

click on it so u can zoom in the rear...this is the only shot i have where u can see the 'chunkyness' u refer to. These have rolled edges, thats prob what u want.

The low offset is making the wheel stick out. Even if you streched a 245 it will still look a little blocky. If you rolled the rears and dumped it, it would probably make it "look" less blocky.

yours is clean in the rear...the tires don't roll over the edges of the rims =(

Ya man i would have to agree with u it does look chunky. No offense... Offset is too much i think. If ur looking for the clean look that other white 1 is better.
