What size for na fc

Im deciding between some 15x7 buddy club p1 or some 16x8 ce28n, no idea which one, where to buy it or if i have the funds for it... just looking to get the lease unsprung weight...

i dont think buddy club makes 16x7 +35 or less... only in +42 or +45...

Does a lightly modified n/a or even a t2 have any trouble with traction with 15x7? do anyone else have a similar situation, and what did you come up with for a solution?

i do want to buy cheaper wheels, maybe enkei rpf1 but dont know if they offer the offset i want. i do not want to run spacers... looking for semi or very flush look.

no... no 17, 18 , 19 , 20, 21, 22<---lol for me... i work in SI and live in brooklyn.. and drive to chinatown quite often.. 17 = bent or crack in one day or less.

get the Vert wheels.they are 15 x6.5" .they weigh 12-14 pounds.They look real good on the FC,and in my Opinion are the Best "suspension Mod" for the Buck!.I put a Set on my FC,after running Stock Wheels,you Really Do notice an improvement in the Suspension.the best thing about it is,with the 205/60/15 Tires on,the Sidewall is Higher and allows the car to absorb some of the Divots,Pot-holes,etc, encountered when driving down rough City Streets.(I live in Ontario,Canada.the highways are Rough,the Backroads are dirt.)..anyways,that is one Guy's Opinion..You wanna Be 'cheap" buy the Vert Wheels.You wanna spend Big Bucks,then look into aftermarkets.Good luck.

I autox'd a n/a FC on 15x10's with 235 Rcomps on them and was able to spin them... so get as wide a wheel as you can and run a 255 out back if possible.

actually the 16" stock tires for the 1st gen S2000 are very nice and if you can afford them are a nice setup for FCs on some 16x8/16x9 wheels.
