My new S2 came with 7's and 8's (D90's, yuk). I want to buy a second set of wheels for the track, but I want to use the same size all around to be able to rotate them for the best wear. I don't think my old 15" cookies will fit , so I need a spare set. Can I get 7's all around...I tried it and the fronts fit the back ok...cleared the brakes and all. Am I missing something?

you can do 7's all around no problem - may sit in a touch- better to run 8's all around w/ 245/45/16" tires for more traction though.

+1 on the 8s up front. Need a little more grip for all that hp youve got now.

You can run 6s on the back if you wanted.

Jay Gratton

Agree, 8's all around!!!!!!

hi Steve

if you pick up a set and want my 7's you can always trade me for the 8's from your set...even swap!

Seriously...I have D90's on the car now...picked up a set of 968 clubs 7/8 and plan on keeping eyes opened for a second set so I can do the 8's/245's all around as well.

I'm running 9's up front and 9.5's in back... cornering grip is quite amazing...

VaSteve

So 8's won't rub in the front under hard cornering? This car is seriously stiff. ... H&R coil overs and everything. I assume you can get RA-1s in 8s...... Oh, need to go to Hershey.

Someone buy my n/a...I need some $$$

The RA1 and the R888 come in 245 45 16 which should be roughly the same OD as a 225 50 16.

8's won't rub. I've got Koni coil overs w/ 400 lb springs up front, and the car is seriously lowered -- no rubbing issues at all. I'm running 245-45/16 RA-1's at all four corners.

Steve - are you going to the NNJR DE @ Summit Point in May?

-Z-man.

VaSteve

I wasn't planning on that event. I'll be up there next weekend and in April. I may drive up to visit with my son....I'll look for you to say hello.

any early offset 7 will actually fit really nicely - a little rub in the rear if you use a tall tire (215/60) but no problems if you run a 225/50
