Kahn RS-R, anyone had them, would this work?

Post by Hurstie1981 »

Hello,

Im toying with the idea of getting some Kahn RS-R's for my tubby, as i cant seem to find any 5 spoke wheels with a staggered set up that i like.
Ive seen that they do 17" wheels in both 7J and 8J, now would these be fine for my two?
7J front, 8J rear in 17"?

Thanks

Graham

I've got 18" Kahn RSR's on my car with 215/35 front tyres and 245/35 rear tyres and have no problems at all, even though the car is lowered 40mm all round.

Just make sure you get the right offsets and I can't see you having any problems with them.

What are the correct offsets to go for, and do they make the correct ones for MR2's?
