If not, would running 17x8's all around while installing a front anti-roll bar yield close to stock handling characteristics?

Another thing, the QF's ( I think ) , that are the correct widths/offsets for the S2000 are just as much as Volks, however the same rims except with a non staggered, 45mm offset are only like 500 bucks on ebay. Why?

You will need a +60 offset to successfully run the 17x8 and 17x9 set up.

When I talk about successfully running this set up I mean by able to run 225 or wider tires up front and 255 or wider tires in the rear. That is one of the most successful handling tires size combo. For the people who want to run stagger.

If you run a non stagger set up in the wheel width. Example like 17x8 all the way around with +45. The wheel will stick out just a lil bit over the fender. The 17x7 or 17x7.5 maybe a better choice for the +45. But then you are facing another dilema. What size stagger tire set up do you run on a non stagger set up wheel. Or do you just run 225 all the way around. Which in my opinion is not optimal for handling. You def. loose your chance on putting meaty tires on the rear.

Keep in mind that this is Honda's MY04 set up

215x45x17 front 17x7.5 +45
245x40x17 rear 17x8.5 +55

Here's our fav. Set up with the CE28N

225x45x17 front 17x7.5 +50
255x40x17 rear 17x9 +63


If you looking at some 17" wheels and does not wish to spend a grip on rims. Then you can look up Tire Rack's great selections. They have some good prices. But if you are looking at the ultimate performance wheels. I would still look at Volk. They are made for sports cars in weight and offsets. I do also offer some lower price range in. If there's enough interest. I can have these special made for s2000 offset.

I dont see a 17x7.5 on the spec sheet, are you sure they make it? Also, I got a quote from 4IGS2000 on the correct QFs and they are 500 bucks a wheel. The standard 17x7 45 offset ones on ebay are 500 for four. Why the big difference?

If I were to purchase some 17x7.5's, while installing the Saner front anti-roll bar, would I experiance close to stock handling?

i thought that the buddy club QF was the rim that was made specificly for the S2000 and all there other rims didn't fit.
