Default Wheel and tire sizes? info plz...

Hi ppl,

What would you reccomend for wheel and tire sizes on the s2k? The stock 16s just dont look good ... I've seen 17s 18s and even 19s. I wouldnt want to lose that valuable power though just to have bigger wheels. i think 18s would look the best but 17s would be the most sensible (im also taking into account tire prices that as you know rocket up as the inches grow).

Would 18s slow you down alot? Ok now with the tire sizes, lets say i get 17s. I hear that its better to have 17x7.5 with 225 / 45 - zr17 in the front and 17x8.5 with 245 / 45 - zr17 in the back, with an offset of 40mm.

Does the offset you need vary with the wheel?

I like these wheels http://www.canada-shops.com/Scripts/Logs/V...age=2&U=ippesma
They are BBS and come out in 17x8.5 and up. What do you guys think?

I know its alot of questions, sorry to bother u, just dont answer if its too much. Thanks anyway
I to ppl like Turbo PWR and U L for their opinion

You should post this question here:

All I can tell you is that 40 mm offset is not enough. They'll stick out too far and may also rub depending upon what tire sizes you get.
