I was wondering if anyone has had experience with the CE28Ns in 17x9 all around. The offset was +65 all around and Ben told me that the setup is identical to the one used on the Amuse S2000.

My question is if I ran 255s all around with this setup on stock suspension height....how would the handling be like? Will I need to run a totally different alighnment? If there is anyone that has actually ran this setup, please give me some feedback on your thoughts of street driving and track driving. Thanks in advance

Repeating herese from this board: Amuse no longer runs that setup.

 

Sizes sound all wrong to me and offsets are wrong and so are tyres.

No good IMHO

Everything is relative. There are some people on the board running the same wheel/tire at all four corners. Usually it's because they have some wheel that they like but can't get in the "correct" stagger. The car still rolls and still turns. Again, we're normally talking about 8" wide wheels.

By adding more grip to the front via wider than normal or softer compound, you increase the squirrelliness of the rearend. Adding a very stiff front swaybar will help tame this tendency, but will not eliminate it.

An option would be to buy same size rims and then stagger the tire sizes themselves to reduce potential oversteer. I have no experience driving on all four corners being the same on the S2000.

 

Hmmm....I wonder why Amuse ran this setup in the first place? I mean they are known for having one of the fastest S2000s in Japan.

 

the amuse driver liked the non-staggered set-up i believe. most people forget the most important part of driving cars is the driver.

 

I was going to post the same thing earlier. Glad you did. The car is not the fastest thing around the track... it doesn't drive itself.

 

it's 17x9+63mm, not 65. they STILL run this setup.

 

Thank you. That is why I prefaced my original comment by saying it was second-hand info.

 

The funny things... not only Amuse... J's Racing, ASM is all running their wheels in equal size.....

I'm currently running 17"x9 all around.. with 245 front , and 255 rear... the car feels funny i must say... the front end wouldn't respond ... understeer.... i was expecting some oversteer though...
