Thumbs up EDR9's

Hey guys, I was looking into getting these wheels, and I was wondering, with the +45 offset, how will they look on a stock height s2000?

Will they stick out past the fenders?

What size and width are you getting? They should be fine at stock height assuming you aren't going super wide.

You'll be fine. You should go 17x8 +45offset up front and 17x9 +45offset out back. Even then you should be fine.

Those are some goofy tire size choices...

If you go with 205s up front, you do not want 205/55-17, they are more than an inch taller than stock. Even 205/50-17 is nearly half an inch taller, I'd go 205/45-17 *if* I went with 205s. But you should be able to go 215/45-17 (stock AP2 size).
For the rears, no reason not to go 245/40-17 (again, stock AP2 size), they should fit pretty easily.

Tirerack recommends 205/50, 225/45. I'm with Dan though, AP2 tire sizes would make more sense.

Tire Rack website automatically ONLY suggests oem tire widths, hence it recommends 205/225 for AP1 and 215/245 for AP2 on the exact same wheels, even when the tire widths don't make sense for the wheel widths. I.e., TR site will recommend 205/225 for an AP1 even on 9" wheels all the way around, and 215/245 for AP2 (and presumably 215/255 for CR), even though they have all exactly the same clearance.

Thanks for the tip.

I was just going by what Tire Rack told me.

I'm still debating on getting wheels, or what kind, ect.

I might sell my S, not %100 sure yet.
