![http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs50/f/2009/296/2/d/UPDATE_by_SonamyChao.jpg](http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs50/f/2009/296/2/d/UPDATE_by_SonamyChao.jpg) After a few months of thinking about if I wanted to keep the car or trade it for something else, I’ve decided to keep it. During that time period I figured out which set of wheels I like; Volk CE28N in 17X10 with a +45 offset in bronze. The 17X10 +45 is easier to fit than the 17X9.5 +35 or 17X9 +22, all three of those sizes have a concave face with a decent sized lip for a CE28. Tire size is my issue now, I’m doing some research on how difficult a 255/40 or wider fits. The black S2K below has 17X10 +45 with 245/40 but they look too narrow. Wheels on the red S2K are 17X9.5 +35 with 255/40. Either way I’ll need to roll the fenders and relocate/modify the rear bumper mounting tabs as well. ![http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7010/6557377703_9dcc1fb189_b.jpg](http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7010/6557377703_9dcc1fb189_b.jpg) ![http://i632.photobucket.com/albums/uu47/ice061978/S2000/c50f4ddb3fc5b9f9c9575d3f74761942.png](http://i632.photobucket.com/albums/uu47/ice061978/S2000/c50f4ddb3fc5b9f9c9575d3f74761942.png) ---
