What 17x9 wheel for F+R?
I'm looking for a relatively cheap lightweight wheel 17x9" that will fit my FD front and rear (45mm offset?) with Eibach springs.
I've got a set of SSR Integrals, 17x8 and 17x9" currently for street rubber. I want to upgrade to 17" wheels with the same size rubber all the way around. My problem is I have 3 17x9" wheels (one spare) but Tire Rack says the 9" Integral is discontinued.

Jeff,
I'm not aware of any other wheels that will fit properly...the 9 x 17, 45-mm offset SSR Integral A2 is perfect with a 255/40-17, and is the only one-piece cast wheel that came in that size and offset...
I'm sure that the SSR GT-1s come in 9 x 17, 45-mm offsets, but they're slightly heavier, and much more expensive at $375 each...(I think from Tire Rack?)...
I'm glad I bought five SSR Integral A2s in 9 x 17, 45-mm offset when I did. I just knew that $289 each for a forged wheel in that size and offset was just perfect and the money was right too
I guess you're just looking for one SSR Integral A2 in 9 x 17, 45-mm offset aren't you?

For something inexpensive I would suggest the Enkei NT03. The Enkei wheel RE-A used on one of their FD's. I have these in 17,9 +43 which will work with a 245/40 front and rear.
The whole set can be had for about $700.00 shipped with hardware.

This picture does not do it justice whatsoever.
Thanks, Rishie
This is a Enkei Tuning wheel meaning it's lightweight, made for race application, and made in Japan.

Yeah, my 9 x 17 SSR Integral A2s in 9 x 17, 45-mm offset, weigh about that much...That's a good deal on the Enkeis...may consider them for another set of track wheels

What about Enkei RPF1s? Enkei's site has them listed in 17x9 +45. Check out http://www.enkei.co.jp/pro-mat/p-f.html and click on the RPf1s. These are pretty incredible wheels for the price tag. Not to mention they are very light as well.

I have RPF1's and there the finest-widest-lightest-wheel for the cash....
I have a 91 Turbo II w/ 17 x 9.5's (R) +38mm & 17 x 9 (F) + 35mm offsets. The 9.5's weigh 16.5lbs and have a 73mm enter bore.. From the factory there kinda polished out (not chrome) w/ clear coat, so thats pretty cool and easy to take care of
I spent about $305 per wheel and 21.00 for the center caps, which I'm ditching for some CCW flush aluminum caps....

I know whenever you look on japanese wheel sites, they always spec real low offsets like 35 for the front of FDs.

you should be fine on the 9.5's on all 4 corners....Like I said I have 9's on the front of a 91 TII and the 9.5's on back... They have 17 x 10 in RPF1's too, and I tried one on my car and it fit (R)....however they only sent one from Enkei-TX and according to Enkei Japan it would be months before I saw the other one (long story) but I thought 9.5's w/ 275's would be fine.... my .02
Kevin Wyum has CCW 17 x 10's up front on his FD
( don't know offset) and 17x 11's on back with 315's and no flairs...nice! anyway, so you should be fine

Re: What 17x9 wheel for F+R?
Jeff,
Do you still have your 3, 9 x 17, SSR Integrals in 45-mm offset? I might be interested in buying them, along with buying Peter's set of rear 9 x 17, 45-mm offset Integrals--giving me another set of 5, 9 x 17s to wrap 255/40-17 Pirelli P-Zero Corsas for track events. Email me with a price. Shipping will be to 46217 ZIP.

I just picked up a set of Integrals with 2 17x8 and 2 17x9 wheels. I am interested in trying to get 17x9 all the way around. If your plans to get two sets of 5 dont work out let me know if you want to sell 2. Drop me an email at shawn@3rdgenrx7.com if you want to contact me.
Thanks,
Shawn

Shawn,
Plans fell through. Peter traded his Integrals, and I have not seen a reply from Jeff. I guess I'll keep my set of five 9 x 17s, with 255/40-17 Pirellis (see my sig pic LOL )
