I just bought myself a big bday gift. I purchased these wheels along with the RE01s. Funny thing is I buy most of the stuff while I'm drunk me and couple of my buddies were out last night, we started the car talk, and I mentioned about wanting those rims for the longest time. and I found myself purchasing these within an hour.
The sales rep at vivid racing recommended 17x7.5+45 & 17x8.5+50 set up with 215x45x17 & 245x40x17 tire set up for my stock height ap1. Although, i realized a lot of people are buying +47 off set for the front. what are your inputs on the rim size i bought and the tires?
For now, i'm not thinking about doing anything to the suspensions yet.

Any input will be appreciated!

 

your sizes are safe even when you consider going lower in the future

stop drinking and purchasing tho!

 

continue drinking and purchasing and next time accidentally put my name and address down as the ship to location

 

in fact the story doesn't really end there. the same night, i ordered cf cusco strut bar and the apr cf front splitter. I wanted to get the apr rear cf diffuser as well, but I heard they wouldn't fit with my comptech duals.

 

Drunk buying FTW! I hope you enjoy the strut bar, heres a picture of my friends car with the smae sizes and offset.

 

why did you decided to get rid of it anyway? whether it be functional or not, it's a nice bling in your engine bay.

 

I you go back and look at the pictures I posted in my F/S thread you will notice the the cusco bar is 2x2 (bigger) carbon fiber and my J's intacke is 1x1 (smaller) carbon fiber. I got tired of the mix match carbon fiber in my engine bay. I decide I would sell the bar once I found a titanium strut bar.(I am a titanium whore) And my cusco titanium bar just can in today.

 

let's see how that'd work out for me as well. i've got comptech intake w/cf airbox and cf radiator plate. I didn't think much of matching them up, but we'll see

 

yeah i had some with the same SAFE offset but i ran a 255 tire in the back. you will be happy with them.

 

for now, i bought re01R (on sale from tirerack) only available size in 215/245 which were recommended size from vividracing. I'm gonna want to try 225/255 next time maybe?? how did you like 255s in the rear?
