Quite far off, his age difference with you is like with me with him, but going the other way.....lol

Ha Ha ... I feel old though

I opted for the 17". Super rare size! Most Hammans are 18" and above. Managed to nego to 1.8k. Not sure about OZ Italy though. They should be if original. I see the Hamman label but don't see OZ or Made in anywhere in the etching.

...

Good choice going with the 17'. How wide? Square or staggered fitment? Hammans should be made by OZ Italy.

Powerful RWD, his will be staggered......

8jj and unfortunately not staggered rim size. I'll be on the lookout for staggered rims though. Tyres I'll be sticking with my current tyres and only consider what to do after I wear them out. 245/40/17 rear and 235/45/17 front.

245/40/17 rear and 235/45/17 front.

245 can take that amount of power?

Need good rubber should be ok, any wider tendency of aquaplaning is greater.....

Hmm should get wider rims, at least 8.5jj all round or staggered 8/9jj. Should just use 235/45/17 for all now. 245/40/17 is too small in diameter and sidewall a bit too thin like mine (only 9.8cm sidewall height). If go staggered 8/9jj, then can use 225/45 + 255/40.

What tires are those btw?

Square is ALWAYS better. ALWAYS. Staggered is for the looks...if you're into that.. sure..

Staggered induces understeer.

RWD needs stagger? BS. Just get wide enough tires for both front and back and you're done.

He wants wider rear to hold it's power, but cannot fit wider into the front due to steering....lol

Yes, coz the rears usually can fit much wider than front if you need as much rubber to maintain traction, hence that's why staggered.

Some FWD doing the opposite to counter under steer......lol

Yes I've seen that too on some FD2Rs setup. Must be some hardcore drivers.
