Default Performance, looks or BOTH?

Hey Fellas,

Time to change out my Work CR Kais and look for something different.

I cannot decide between the following rim specs:

TE37 - can this be used as track rims or are they too aggressive?
F: 17x8.5+30
R: 17x9.5+35

OR

CE28N time attacks - will this look too weak?
F: 17 x 8 +51
R: 17 x 9 +63

When i'm after looks, i want something that looks flush with the guards. In saying that, i do enjoy my time around the twisties and i'm not too keen on having to worry about rubbing issues. It's important to have grip!

Please lend me your advice!

Thanks a bunch

I'd go 17x9 + 63 all around with 255/40/17 .

It'd be cool if i can do that however the used ones for sale only offer them in the offset specified in the original post!

Gotcha I'd go for the ce28 255 r 235 f. A lot of grip and you won't have fitment problems.

The first set will likely be a real challenge to squeeze in w/o stretching tires (and stretched tires are retarded)

If you want to actually drive the car than go for the ce28 or a wheel with similar specs.

^if thats the case i guess the ce28 is the way to go then...

Anyone have pictures of how the x9+63 fit in the back? Is it tucked away neatly within the guard? Or is there alotttttttt of space making it look weaksauce?

Not too keen to run spaces ay....

+63 doesn't look bad, it is the common offset for the S2000 to run a 255 tire without rubbing. If you think of the stock 17x8.5 +65 wheel, the edge of the wheel is roughly 8-9 mm further out toward the fender.
