Default Got my OZ's finally

My rear wheels came in today. I ended going with 17's on the front and 18 x 9's in the rear. I'm getting a free set of tires from the BF Goodrich Rep. since my car will be on display at their booth at NOPI. A turbocharged S2000 with a sweet set of wheels, I can't wait.

Hmm.. Taller tires in the rear than the front? Has anyone been able to do this before? How does it affect handling?

Congrats on the turbo and the new wheels, I'm sure it will all be great.

The tires shouldn't be any taller, just the wheels. His overall height should still be in the 24.9 neighborhood, just with a lower profile rear sidewall.

I remember when Comptech changed their tires to BF Goodrich they started to rub. I guess BF G tires have a bulker sidewall.
