I would be careful about staggering the wheels, due to the difference in rolling resistance. From a braking perspective, the S2000 is engineered by Honda to have a staggered setup. I have considered the same thing, since my MR2 had staggered wheels on it that will fit the Z and hopefully sit flush too. But, I have to pick and chose my tires if I decide to do it, because of the difference between the F/R braking force.

Oh, and I don't think the Z will be able to get a 9" rear tire under it. On the MR2, a 255 would be a very tight squeeze, and it was coming from a 205/55-14.

Try the 1010tires.com sizing calculator. Very helpful

i was gonna say i think that a 9" wheel would be too large for the CR-Z... 8" is pushing it really...

i've seen Si's with 255's but that was REALLY pushing the limits...

if anything add spacers and stagger the tires get something like Front-205, Rear-235

personally i'm doing either 215 or 225 all around...

Thanks for the info.

I'm running some 17x7 MB Weapons (re-badged ATECs) with 48 offset for a little wider stance. With 225/45ZR17 tires, it is sweet.

I thought about the 17x8 wheels, but was a little tighter than I liked.

Just throwing in that I do have running 18" 7.5 wide (45 offset) shrouded in 225/35 No rubbing, and I am with 1/4mph on the odo to the stock 16's I feel the car rides better with the heaver wheels, little less harsh on the road..

Just looking doing a little research on some wheels. They are available in 17" 7"width with 43 and 52 offset. Will 52 be too much for the Z? I'm a bit concerned that the 43 offset will pull the wheels even further in then stock.

I am running 17x7 with 48 offset... and it is fine.

What wheel is that last pix with the red lug nuts? Are those 18?
