Also a thread dedicated to arch rolling gone wrong!

I personally don't think this is the way to go, all it suggests is the offsets of the wheels you are choosing are incorrect.

Here's my 2pc
I've got ROTA slippy's in the following sizes:
7.5/17/et45
8/17/et48
With OEM sized tyres 215/245 respectively.
You can see the stance of the car if you click on the link in my sig.
If you can drive (can control oversteer) and fancy the non-staggered approach, I'd go for the 8"et48 will up front aswell.
My car is very low so I've also had my arches rolled as under hard compression when corning on the track, the fronts scrubbed. (saying that, I also run a 5mm spacer up front for the BBK).
Archenemy - I wouldn't use them again. They cracked the paint on all four corners! Next time I'll do it myself.
If you want any more info please let me know as I've tried, ROTA Boost, Slipstreams, Torques and OEM 16's/17's and a couple of other wheels.

thats a lot of experience with different sets of wheels!Your car car looks sweet! I could easily live with that set up.
Does your 245 tyres fit nicely on the 8'' rears? No tyre bulging?
My main reason for going for the 17x9 rears is I dont want to have issues with a 245 tyre. I'm planning on buying the Conti Sport Contact 3's but dont think different tyres will affect the bulging differently
I'd rather stick with the staggered look as if thats what Honda decided then that must be the best option?!
If I go with this set up (17x7.5 et45 215 tyre front and 17x8 et48 245 rear) will I need to roll the arches if a) I dont lower it 'or' b) I lower it? Not too much though, just enough to not look like it's on stilts.
Thanks for your help
Matt

Hey Matt! Looks what I have for sale
Here is the for sale link:
https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?act=S...0#entry19747159
I just PMd you! I have a set of Works CR Kai for sale in the for sale section, brand spanking new, still boxed in the perfect offsets for the S2k.
The rears are 9J, allowing you to run a 245 or 255 tire and are in a +44 concave offset.
The fronts are 8J for a 215 or 225 tyre and are in a +47 offset!
I did so much research on offsets etc before buying these wheels and managed to get the last set of +44 concave rears that Works made apparently Only problem is the two different colours, but getting two wheels sprayed costs peanuts
The oddsets I have are the exact offsets in these photos.
