I'm new here but I have been trolling the wheel forum since the s2k has a completely different wheel setup requirement then all of the other cars I've owned and modified. I am used to the S13 240SX where the sky's the limit on what you can stick in the rear end of the car. A little work can get a 10.5 wheel in the back a lot of work will get an 11" wide rim on.

Anyway, I picked up a set of Volk GT-N in 17x7 +27 and 17x9 +50. Very flush fitment but I need to get some coilovers to camber and tuck the wheels. The rubber is pretty meaty so there is going to be some work to get them to really sit nicely in the fenders. On to the pictures:

Take a look and if you have any suggestions getting them setup properly let me know.

Awsome wheels i had GTN before but NYC pot hole owned one of them.

 

nice! but i say go lower

 

I don't know if I can get aggressive with the tuck since the tires are pretty meaty.

215/50 front and 245/45 rear

 

how come the tires are the wrong sized profile?

 

I don't get it? That's the size of the tires. Is there a right and wrong profile for tires or is it "not standard" for S2K?

I'm not a big fan of band-aid tires or the stretched look. I like a more performance oriented setup and the current setup is insanely stable when cornering. I can feed in throttle much earlier now with predictable oversteer. I'm sure most of this was due to the previous owner putting crap rubber on there but I love the setup so far.

I want to get a drop and camber to improve it even more.

 

Update: Aligned and dropped
