[QUOTE=lane,Nov 24 2004, 12:50 PM] man, wish I had known about those before I got my CE28Ns ... those look really nice, esp. in gunmetal! Mind my asking what you paid for your set?

Weight and offsets are pretty good:

17X8 5X114.3 35,28

I agree about the Toyo RA-1s, but not all of us like the 225/55-16 upfront. With a stock suspension plus additional bracing I prefer the 205/55-16 up front and the 245/45 in the back.
I think you mean stock sway bar. "Bracing" has nothing to do with it.

225 fronts are for aftermarket sway bars and 205 fronts are for stock sways.

here are the actual dimensions on the 17" buddy club p1 qf
17 x 8 35 5 x 114 6.15kg=13.5 lbs
17 x 9 63 5 x 114 6.43kg=14.1 lbs
also the wheel is a strong lightweight forged wheel just like the ce28's...i paid about 2500 cdn dollar for just the wheels no tires...around same price as ce28's...both good wheel for the s2000
Those 17x8 35 offset seem like they should rub. 17x7.5 50 just clears the fender with 225/45's and rubs with 235/45's.

They will rub if the spoon 16" wheels rub in the same offsets....and they do.

I don't understand why no body brings up 17X9 +63 front and rear with 245/40/17 all around.
P.S. ASM has Prodrive GC-07C 17X9 wheel all around with 245/40/17 tires all around, just didn't know the offset of the GC-07C wheel.

Actually those might work well for 245/45 Front and 275/40 Rear Hoosiers.

well, you could get the Volks CE28N(17x9 +63), Volks TE37(17X9 +65), or Buddy Club P1 QF(17X9 +63), those will let 245/40/17 tires get under your front and rear fender without a problem.

the car in the link holds the best time(time attack) at Tsububa Circuit for N/A class. Well, you could say it is all driver and mods mean nothingby your will. However, I don't see the problem with those Japanaeses. Sometimes, they are better than you could have imaging..
