Default got my CE28Ns

not on the car yet as i only have two tires (gforce t/a kd), the other two are en route.

just curious, how do you guys bring in your s to get tires and rims put on? i don't see any way four rims and four tires will fit in the car, in fact it looks like two tires is max... i.e. four trips if they're unmounted and two if they are mounted!!

the usual, 17 x 7.5 and 17 x 9. with the tires, i went 225 front and 245 rear; i know most will say that 255 is better, but i'm going to give it a try. i don't have published "tread width" for the t/a kds on 7.5 and 9.0 inch rims, but the section widths have a good proportion relative to the stock tread width ratio front/rear.

Good choice of wheels and tires!!!
That's exactly what I have on my S2000. Except I have the 255-40 rears!

Here's what mine looks like!


I'd try to borrow a truck or wagon to get them to and from the tire shop. Otherwise you might mess up your interior!!!

Great choice! I put my CE28Ns in a friend's RSX to get tires mounted.

Wheels look sharp. About the mounting part, call your good friend and see if he wants to go out for drinks and if he says yes, have him pick you up with the tires and rims. Stop by the tire store and after that take him out.

I have 215/ 245's. Proxy's.. The issue is the rear size.. Based upon experience - with the massive offsets the 255's should have been my choice. In terms of your question - requires either a friend/spouse/instant installation.. - you did not mention the return trip home -

In shipping have delivery of wheels/tires to the shop where wheels will be mounted... Perhaps some nominal tip/fee involved.. but should work.

Wow! The black "S" looks sharp with the "titanium" color choice. Looks good with the clear side markers too. Now you just need the clear corners from Rick's to complete the look
It's making me re-think whether I want the MF-10's or these again...
