Wheels fitment
Hello fellow s2k owners!
Started preparation for the summer and thinking of changing my wheels setup.
Current setup:
Due to the rubbing on track I though to use some spacers (10-15mm) + Downforce fenders (+30mm).
If I do this fenders my street setup will look like sh** So, I'm trying to figure out (and gather some advice/feedback from you guys).
My questions regarding TC105N...
Started preparation for the summer and thinking of changing my wheels setup.
Current setup:
- stock fenders/ not rolled
- dropped on KW V3
- street setup - Prodrive GC-07C Front: 17x7.5+48 / Rear: 17x8.5 +54 with stock tire size - no rubbing
- Track: TR C3 17x9+62 all around with 255 tires - rubs in front on hard corners + rubs on my brake ventilation pipe from the inside
Due to the rubbing on track I though to use some spacers (10-15mm) + Downforce fenders (+30mm).
If I do this fenders my street setup will look like sh** So, I'm trying to figure out (and gather some advice/feedback from you guys).
- keep GC-07C and add some spacers with extended lugs?
- get the TC105N with wider wheels and tires front and back?
My questions regarding TC105N...
- Is it safe to drive with non-staggered on the streets if I get 17x9+49 TC105Ns all around. Do I need to roll the back with this +255 tire?
- 17x9 +49 with 255 tire in front +30mm fender, not sure how it will look, may still need a spacer (here for the looks as with +49 it should not rub on the inside
- 17*8 +49 225 tire and 17x9 +49 255 tire is the other options, but will the front sit too deep inside the fender?

I would just roll your current fenders and stick with the current set ups you have. With you square track setup you can run a small spacer in the front to help it not rub the brake ducting.
The downforce fenders are complete overkill for the setups you are looking at. If you were trying to fit a +30 wheel than you would want those but with the offsets you are looking at all you need a fender roll and pretty much all your rubbing issues will be solved except the brake duct rubbing.

You "track" your car and your asking if your square track set up is safe for the street? WTF some of these questions make me why would it not be? Do you suddenly forget how to drive your car when your on the road with other cars, except when running a staggered fitment?

Well, I think I need calculator.
Those offsets were just my guess.
TC105N comes with 17x8 with +32, +38, +42, +49 offsets and 17x9 with +25, +35 or +49
Fenders already ordered. With track wheels I need spacers no matter what because of the duct and I don't care about the looks on the track.
My only concern is the street package...
What about non staggered on the street? or better stick with something like 225/255 with 17x8 and 17x9?
I need to dig for some pics of the rims on the car with offsets specified...

I guess the question should not be about "safety" but about "comfort". I never ran non-stag on streets and current stockish size is fine for me. I like the steering of the non-stag on the track, but I don't want to "fight" the steering wheel on the streets. May be it's a matter of habit.
