Better off putting the 9s on the front. Easier fit plus its a fwd you need grip in the front to get the power down

Hi guys, i'm in doubt between two setups
I'd really like to go to a more agressive set up next summer.
Looking at fitting a 245 in the front. and probably also in the back if possible.
Have my eye on a set of rpf1 in 17x8 et40, this i know will fit.
However i just saw a set of te37 in 17x8,5 et50 meant for an s2000. Wil these fit without too much hassle?

Thanks dude.
Have you had much arch work done? If not, are you on the limit for tyre size, or could you get away with 235/245?

8.5 +50 is easy to fit and can take a big tyre. i run that on the rear but with a 225/45 and a 9" 245 front

My friend ran that size all round with 245s easy

I'm on the verge of buying a new set of alloys, time for change. Many don't, but I really like the look of the RSX 'stanced' look they have over in the states - within reason of course (I'm not looking for the toy car camber kind of look)

I'm struggling to get my head around rim width and offset - I'm wanting an aggressive fit without looking silly. If I need arch work, then so be it. I'm currently looking at a set of enkei NT03's and getting them sprayed in some mad colour. However, I don't want to buy them only to find they look absolutely pap because the fitment is too... safe? At the same time I don't want the rims poking out an inch or two past the arch.

Currently running FRSU and lowered on eibach springs. The NT03's at 17" only seem to come in sizes of 7.5 at ET40 and 9.5 at ET38 - will either of those sizes fit? and will they need loads of camber and look stupid

edit: to add another question - will the tyres need to be stretched? That's something I understand even less about but I still think it looks cool. Also, I highly doubt my car will ever see a track day in its life so while I'm not wanting to compromise the handling drastically, I'm not looking to play it safe because it'll effect track performance

Wondered if someone could shed some light on this for me.
I'm looking to purchase some new wheels January, and wondered which id be best of going for to suit my Integra.

I'm torn between either a 17 X 7.5J ET45 - wrapped in a 215/45/17 A048..

Or a 17 X 8J ET48 - again wrapped in a 215/45/17 A048.

I'm thinking the 7.5 will be best, with the hope of no arch work?
Can anyone clarify this for me please?
