I purchased a set of Wedsports TC105N for my 2013 Civic Si, will be trading it in for an AP2

Will I be able to run 17 x 8 x 38 offset all around stock suspension for daily driving purposes?

If this does work what are the disadvantages of running this size on a track?

 

I've read multiple fitment charts but I just want to hear someone else tell me the bad news.

 

Honestly, while not ideal, you could probably get away with it. Plenty of people run 245s on 8" wide wheels and it works, I was running it for my track wheels (Evo VIII 17x8s) on my old RSX. A 245 on a 17x8 is no worse than 255s on 17x8.5, and that's what plenty of people do for their track wheels.

That said, if you run staggered tires, the rears will be pinched while the fronts are stretched, hurting both your contact patches and sidewall feel, the fronts definitely more than the rears. You could conceivably run 245s all around with a big front sway though, and of your options that would probably feel best on track. The biggest issue I think would be rubbing in the front, which you might be able to avoid with some extra camber. On track though, the loss of steering feel due to the stretch up front wouldn't be worth it IMO.

Really if I were you, I'd sell the Weds and buy something designed to work on the S2000. There are plenty of good looking, reasonable options, including Enkeis, TSWs, the new Koseis, TRM, and OZ Allegritas if you want something AP2 stock-sized but at a little more cost. You could probably walk away with close to enough for 4 wheels plus awesome tires for what you get selling the Weds.

 

All the fenders will need to be rolled and the front will need a good deal of camber. Like 2.5-3 degrees. It is not ideal for a few reasons namely the rear is narrower than the OEM ap2 wheel which means a 245 is about the max you can run. Fronts I would suggest a 225 for a little more clearance and to keep some of the stagger but that is up to you. Personally I would sell them and buy wheels that fit better.

 

I appreciate your guys input, with that being said its sad to say I have to let them go although I will be happy to get out of my economy civic and into an Ap2

 

Great choice sir. No need to maul the car just to make a set of wheels fit. That said...the TC105Ns in a staggered config would be awesome. Lot of guys run them with a minor roll for the rear. Sizes are 17x8 +49 (f) and 17x9 +49 (`r)
