Post I know you all hate this question....

Hey all,

Just picked up my first s2000. Its stock for now but I am buying a set of Challenge Comp + Coilovers with 12k/12k springs. I am looking to track this car often. I want to run a non-staggered setup for track days. From what I have heard 17x9 + 63 with 255/40's is possible without doing any pulling on the fenders or the quarters. So basically my question is will 17x9 +63 with 255/40's fit with out doing any pull on the front or rear?

Also could you list some 17x9 + 63 wheels for me. All I can find is the:

-6ULR
-Volk CE28N

Thanks for all you help... I know you all hate this question

VOLK RE30 has that offset. That's what I run with 255/40's, no fender mods,lowered right at an inch. I don't rub at the track.

Front and rear with no issues? I am not looking to slam the car either, function over looks. Thanks for your help

Here is the list so far:

-Volk RE30
-Volk CE28N
-6ULR

Anymore 17x9 +63 anyone can think of?

I'm running the Rays 57 Motorsports G07WT 17 x 9 +63 in the rear, dropped on Pro Kits with 255/40-17, no fender mods needed but if you run them up front you'll have to at least roll the fenders.

There's people who run OEM AP2 V1/2/3's as a square setup. +65's all around, no fender mods. It looks a little silly, but you should be fine not slammed.

I haven't seen anyone but VOLK weels with those offsets.

Do you have a picture available of your car with these wheels. I looked them up... beautiful. Thanks for the info on these.

I was told that the center bore was larger on the front AP2 V 1/2/3's. Is there any truth to this? If so I would imagine it wouldn't be to hard to machine them out.

Still looks like it needs a drop but damn I'd scrape on my driveway.

Sorry don't mean to thread jack but I'm also curious about running non stag 17x9 +63. I read a while back that there was some issues at the front with rubbing on the inside of the wheel with a control arm with the steering wheel turned at full lock. Is this true? Anyone have experience with this?
