Hi all, I'm really interested in getting some WORK Cr Kais for my new S, I'm just a tad overwhelmed by all the info and everything that is needed to pick the right wheels with correct offset etc. Right now I have stock everything and what I'd like to do is keep everything stock and just swap in the new wheels, what is the best combo of wheel size and offset to get for what I want to do?

Thanks,

I'm by no means an expert, but I will try to help out. A sponsor on this site had CR Kais made in S2K friendly offsets. I think it was LSD Motorsports. Depending on the setup, they offered 17x9 at +44 and 17x8 at +42. Depending on how low you are, these MAY be able to fit without modification. If you plan on lowering, you should look into fender rolling (which really isn't a big deal if someone knows what they're doing) and tab relocation, etc. With the CR Kai, you need a lower offset to get that "concave" look. The 17x9 +44 is concave but the 17x8 +42 is not (because it's a narrower wheel). If you like the staggered setup, that will work our you can just do the 17x9 all around.

Not even sure if these offsets are still available so you'll have to contact the vendor. The +40's offsets give a nice aggressive look usually without mutilating your fenders and preserving handling. If you don't want to do anything at all to your fenders, you should probably look at wheel with higher than +50 offsets. Hope this helps.

That's very helpful, thank you. I think it will look great lowered and I wouldn't mind dropping mine a bit, but I simply can't, I scrape (minimally) on my driveway at stock height so I can only imagine what I'd do once lowered.

I completely agree, I wouldn't go more than an inch lower. I can get it to not scrape if I stop at a severe angle and then very slowly pull in and up the driveway. I've got a small drainage section that slopes down right in front of the driveway and then it starts to angle up as the driveway begins. If I had one of these I'd be fine, but I'd get a letter from the HOA within a day of putting it down, so no go there.
