Try looking just a tiny bit harder.

 

With many of the aftermarket set ups, you may need to modify/roll fenders. Are you willing to do this, because if not you are going to be limited to higher offsets like the OEM wheels have and within about 1/2" of OEM widths. With a high enough offset, say somewhere ~+55-60'ish, you could run a 17x8 front / 17x9 rear set up at near stock height without rolling I believe.

If doing so, you may want to run a bit of camber especially if lowered, though I am not the expert on this. With such a set up, I'd probably run 225/45/17 tires up front, and 255/40/17 in the rear.

If rolling the fenders, you would be ok to run a 17x9 wheel set up all the way around with a +40'ish offset no problem I would think.

 

2002 AP1 OEM rims and ride height, non OEM tires that suck 20% rear 50% front (I am a tire junky and love fresh tires) non staggered at the moment Dunlop Diressa DS101 225/50/16, my fenders may already be rolled (not 100% sure) so I have two rim choices I'm looking at. And yes I have studied the wheel guide on here and various other forums of what other member have. And my brain hurts....I'm so confused and do not want do anything that would hurt my new baby....lol.

Enkei Kojin 17x8, 17x9 +45 5x114.3 Brand new in box being sold on here by a member
Motegi MR125 17x7.5 +42 non staggered

I've been told that the 17x7.5 width non staggered is not a good choice. That it is too narrow for the rear. I don't understand this since my stock ap1's are 7.5 in the rear. I mainly want these because I have them on my Integra and I would like to match the rims on my S2K.

I also have the Nitto Neo Gen tires 205/45/16 on my Integra with the MR125 rims and I love them. Neo Gen tires in a 17in only come in... 205/40...205/45...215/40..215/45...225/45...225/50...235/50 so these tires will only fit the MR125 rims not the Enkei rims are too wide in the rear

So if the Enkei's end up being the ones, I was looking at the BF Goodrich g-force super sport A/S.... 205/40...245/40...255/40...275/40...215/45...225/45...235/45...245/45...255/45...205/50...215/50...225/50...235/55 (open to suggestions on other brands, trying to stay around $125 per tire)

I do not track this car, just DD (mostly Hwy 100+alot...lol) with some aggressive street driving every once in awhile
So suggestions on tire sizes for the MR125 and Enkei Kohin would be greatly appreciated.

The S2K is just so confusing to me since I have owned the DC2 integra for the past 12yrs. I love this car but the S2K has always been a dream of mine and I finally have it. I plan on keeping the S2K mostly stock besides the AEM short ram intake that was on it when I bought and the Greddy SE go tuneing dual exhaust that is a little bent up from an accident (like that when I bought it) I live in a small town (Salina, Ks) and can not seem to find anyone to fix it so I was looking at the Berk test pipe with a Greddy Evo2 dual exhaust, which is the exhaust I have on the Integra and I also love the sound of it.

 

7.5 for the rear isn't a good choice because the AP1 is tail happy due to the suspension bias to the rear. Honda moved to an 8.5 and 245 rear tire for a reason. Most use the OEM ap2 sizes to compare what would be an upgrade.

There is several threads about the enkei kojin if you look. The easiest setup for those would be 17x8 +45 fronts and 17x9 +45 rear. You will need to roll the fenders and relocate the tabs to avoid any rubbing. Run a 225/45/17 front and 255/40/17 rear.

 

So if I don't mind the car being a little tail happy would the 7.5 be ok? I kind of like sliding the rear around a little. Like i said I wont be tracking the car. Maybe a drag race here there. But would it affect stability at 100+ mph? I would just keep the ap1 rims but the tire choices are very limited. Thank you for our replies.

 

I am not giving you advise for driving 100+ on the street regularly. That is stupid and dangerous take it to the track if that is what you want.

 

Ok. That aside. So if I don't mind the car being a little tail happy would the 7.5 be ok? I kind of like sliding the rear around a little.

So that being said.....What about this.
