Hey guys,

Well I was planning on buying Emotion XD-9's, CR kai or the Volk TE-37.

I want feedback from owners of these wheels and their oppinions and I need help with this issue.

Today I went to F1 Motorsport in North Hollywood and I spoke to a guy there who said that the XD-9 or CR Kai wouldnt fit because of the offset. I told him I wanted staggered 17x 9.5 +44 he said the only way to get it would be 17x 7.5 all around and that wouldnt look good. He said that if I got the one I wanted I would have to roll my fenders and there would be a inch of the wheel sticking out. Is this right? what can I do here someone save me

 

I just ordered 18" XD-9 from www.evasivemotorsports.com give them a call at 626-336-3400 they can help. or PM WasabiS2K. He has XD-9's on his S2000 with some crazy offsets.

 

sounds like F1 Motorsports are knuckle-heads

 

If you are going to run a 9.5+44 in the rear, you will need to roll your fenders and a slightly stretched 255 tire. What size are you planning to run up front?

 

Yeah, I went to F1 last week and Chris (Salesman) only wanted to sell me VS-XXs for $3000 including tires.

 

Well thanks for your help guys but I still need some things clarified.

So if I want to run 17 X 9.5 +44 rear what would be good to run for front. And what size tires should I get for rear? 255 like IIGQ4U said? How about front tires?

 

And where would you guys recommend to get my wheels from. Best price, good costumer service, etc...

 

If you are running a 17X9.5 ET44 rear it will take some fender rolling to make it fit. I would stay with a 245/40R17 and run more negative camber to be safe. The front size could be 17X7.5 or 17X8 with 50mm or higher offset to be the safest.
If I can help with the tires let me know. I do not carry the wheels you are looking for.
