yes j's runs 255/255 and amuse's gt1 is 265 all the way around. right now i run 255 in the rear and 225 up front. it's good, but i would like to see why amuse and j's run unstaggered s2k's. i have coilovers on it, and will be getting sways soon. just want to find out how to mount the rears up front.

 

also, if the center bore needs to be enlarged, how do you apply normal 17X8 1/2 in the front? or is it just with honda's rims?

 

it's just with the honda rims

 

****, that sucks. how do i go about enlarging the center bore. and will it be affected if i choose to switch out to a different set of rims that are not honda? i.e. volk?

 

I'm running the 245s up front and the 255s in the rear. The only way I am achieving grip at the limit is with some serious suspension mods including coilovers, Gendron sway bar, AP1 rear sway and attention to alignment settings. On a stock set up you will have trouble balancing a 245/255 set up. Especially on an AP1.

 

You are just machining the rims that you plan to run on the front. You might as well get all 4 rear rims machined though so you can rotate your tires with 255 all around.

You aren't changing anything on the car to get the wheels to fit, so you can swap them anytime for volk or whatever and not have to worry about fitment. Of course, that is if you buy rims that fit the s2k ok.

 

dear willie, if you had read my previous statement, i do have coilovers on it. and i will be getting sways before i put on the 245 set up. will definitely be considering 255's all the way around.

and i misunderstood what you meant by centerbore. i know now. does anyone know the exact diameter/circumference i will be enlarging?

and another question has arose since you advised me to go about all 4 rims. will this effect the fitment of the rims in the rear?

 

p.s. thanks for all your help. it is really helpful.

 

I've never centerbored any wheels, but my aftermarket wheels will swap front to back and vice versa. So I would think that that centerboring your wheels would enable you to rotate your tires without difficulty.

 

does anyone know any shops around houston that i can enlarge the center bores on the wheels? and specs that they need to be enlarged to?
