that really doesn't look like too bad of an offset. Did you rub front or rear?

And? The car handles great like that. I have an early NSX wheel in the garage: 16x8 +60. 949 Racing is making some wheels that fit and are due out in the summer. One size is 17x10 +73. Honda's engineers designed the suspension to be "in the wheel." All the "smart" guys are moving the wheel away from the original design.

Smart guys = those with "aggressive" offsets.
Yeah. i've seen that ads for that. look to be pretty cheap too at less than 300 a wheel.

what size tire would you be able to fit on a 17x10?

What wheels are you running, Alex?

doesn't look like you're that close to the fender from that angle.

Wrong question, grasshoppa. The question should be, "What is the optimum size tire for that wheel size?"

Are you cereal? The wheels are damn near flush with the fenders. Wheel gap is not the judge as to whether or not someone will rub.

well yeah. I know you can fit more than a 255 on a 17x9 but then you run into rubbing issues. Would you actually be able to go any wider on a 10" wheel without the issues??

Yeah, I wasn't referring to the wheel gap, i was referring to the 'flushness'. They didn't look so flush from that angle.
