So are these 17x8.5 +50???
If so what is your rear width and offset?
Any chance for a 17x9.5 +??? in the rear?
The blue CEs are 17x7.5 +43 and I am using 3mm spacer to clear the Spoon calipers. Next year I will be running 17x8.5 +50 with 245/40-17 all around for track.
I think you are able to fit 17x9.5 but it all depends what offset is available and what tire size that you going to run. IMO, you don't need that wide because with a 9" with and 255 tires are way more than enough for street and track setup.

Me too I just want to know if you can balance out the rear contact patch to allow for the increase in the front with what will probably be a 235 or 45 tire. Running a 265 in the rear should handle the bias fairly well without needing any significant adjustments to my swaybar
265 would be nice on the rear.... I figured about the same.... prolly have to roll fenders though right
the magnesium blue look hella nice with blue Spoon calipers!
ben, ben, ben... i wonder where you got that idea from???
looks very familiar...
but will yours see as much abuse as mine did? hehehe...
those were my track wheels... looks like these will be your bling bling street wheels...
damn... why'd u post it up mang... now i want to get another set of track wheels for the s2k. i already have too many sets... but mag blue ce28n 1790... (pondering in my head...) yummy... u bastard!
edit... here's a picture of the tires... so you see it actually being used... no comments like oh, u just drove to the track, jacked up your car to pretend you're fixing something, you can see the wheels are covers in brake dusts and scratches... now that's hardcore ben... can u do that?
ben, i'm just playing w/ you because you got the mag blues for street and not for the track...
Lookin' hard as usual Ben! I see we got the same taste . What wheels do you run for the track? Gotta rock the MAG Blues for the track! Big to you guys cause put all your parts to its functionality. BTW, I need to give you a ring tomorrow - I have some questions about the J's Roll Center Adjusters.

damn... stop showing me these pics of mag blue wheels.
i tried to stay away from it this time when getting wheels for the s2k. i wanted something less flashy and more stealth because of owning a yellow car before. but it's so tempting and so nice... i wonder how it'll look on sebring...
we have a white one, a black one... hmmm sebring...
i also know somebody who has ordered the mag blue ce28n wheels, but in 1775 +50 and 1790 +63. not sure what color s2k he has though... guess we'll find out in a couple months...

i'm sorry, but the blue CE's look a lot better on white than on black
it might look better if it's covered in brake dust so the overall blue looks darker...
but the mag blue color has different shades with different lighting, sometimes a darker tone, and sometimes a lighter tone... makes it look like you own different wheels...
