I have been looking for wheels trying to find a wheel that is nice but doesnt cost too much. With the crazy offsets that the s2k has its so effing hard to find a nice wheel thats not going to kill my budget. I did find a nice volk gram light 57 optimize. They are 17x7.5 with a +50 offset. I would have to run that width for the front and rear because the 17x8 has too small an offset. I guess judging by the wheel guide sticky at the top of the page I could fit a 215 on the front and a 245 on the rear. Its not a whole lot of tire, but the price is right and I love the way they look.

Has anyone used this particular wheel or something similar in size and offset? I want to make sure this thing is going to fit before I go and buy em. I love the ce28n, but they are about 1 grand more and I just cant afford to spend that kidn of money just on wheels, I have a turbo to think about!!! Thanks in advance.

 

I wouldnt run 7.5's all around. Whats the offset of the 17x8?

 

look at some work emotions or enkei rpf1's. those are some nice wheels for a relatively small cost

 

But what your asking would work.

 

its actually 17x8.5 and its +40, so there is no way that would work. Why do you say not to run 7.5's all that way around? Does it look odd? I know the s2k was designed for staggered wheels but I did a little looking and found a number of people that just stagger the tires with the same size wheels front/rear with no problems.

 

i sorta like both of those, but not enough to buy em. If Im gonna spend this much monies it better be for a wheel that i love

 

well a 245 on a 7.5 might be too big of a tire and it will bulge out.

 

Depends on the tire manufacturer... a 245 can fit on a 7.5" wheel although it is not ideal. There is no reason that you can't run 7.5" all around, but it is not a good setup in terms of maximizing performance.
