Anything from 235 to 275 will fit well on a 17x9, but I'm not convinced that wider is faster for this car yet.


As always, RPF1 is a great value (both our car and Robispec's car are using them), but if budget isn't a concern, you can get some very nice Volks

Are they rubbing on the inside or outside? with that space your at 35mm offset.I was thinking 38mm with 8.5 what is the offset in the TC105N thats the exact wheel I was considering.

I looked up the shocks your running pretty neat stuff. Crazy springs rates do you have the grip level for that much spring?

Zero rubbing

There are more to shocks than just spring rates. Good shocks will let you run insanely high spring rates and not lose grip or sacrifice ride quality

I'm currently on 16k/16k on my s2k, and you'd never know when I'm on the highway

Hahaha nice.. Liked the "walk of shame" part lol

Do have a quick question I was wondering about... Do most guys during the summer run with the AC on or everyone keep it off. Since the condenser is dissipating the heat I wondered if that would cause the car to run hotter.. The hp sap I doubt would make much difference, and the evaporator is letting off the condensation on the track would be... To me... The main reason not to run it.. But it's just one of those dumb questions that I wondered about...

Regardless it's gotta be better then when I'm sitting in the sun in my "good looking" black leathers when I'm at the track on the bike lol
