I've had so many tire combos over the years that it's sickening. Here is a quick list:



17x9.5 +31 x4 SSR Competitions with 275x4 Toyo RA1s

17x10 +25 x 4 5Zigen FN01R-C with 275/40x4 R6 (3mm front spacer)







18x9 +3(1?) x 4 SSR Competitions with 285/30x4 V710s



18x8.5 +40 / 18x9.5 +15 RPF1 with 265 / 275 Dunlop Star Specs (25mm front spacer)



18x8.5 +33 x4 OEM 06' wheels with 255x4 then 265x4 tires



18x9.5 +15 x4 RPF1 with 285x4 RS3s







18x10 +38 x4 RPF1 with 305x4 Kumho V710 (15mm front spacer, no rear spacer needed, but ran a 10mm anyway)



18x10.5 +15 x4 RPF1 with 285x4 Hoosier A6 and R6



18x10.5 +15 x4 RPF1 with 295x4 Hoosier R6





18x10.5 +27 x4 TSW Interlagos with 285x4 Hoosier A6 (13mm front spacer)





18x10.5 +27 x4 TSW Interlagos with 285/315 Hoosier A6 (13mm front spacer)

18x9 +31 / 18x10.5 +43 SSR Comps with 265/35 / 295/30 Toyo R888 (5mm front spacer, 10mm rear spacer)



18x9.5 +31 / 18x10.5 +43 SSR Competition with 285/315 Toyo R888 (5mm spacers all around)



That, at least, is just going from memory.

The front will hit the calipers. Figure on a 10-15mm spacer.

Doesn't matter in the dry weather. This is one way to extend tire life.

 

currently what my track setup looks like

FRONT - 18x9.5 +15 RPF1s - 265/35/18 RS3s
REAR - 18x10.5 +15 RPF1s - 285/35/18 RS3

heres a picture from last week



and heres a kind old picture

 

No pics, but 18x9.5 +12 5Ziegen FN01R-C Hot Version wheels with 265/35 and 285/35 R-S3s.

 

18x8.5 Work Emotion CR Kai somewhere around +13/+18 with the spacers wraped in 245/255 Starspecs. I was going for an STR legal setup so thats why everything is so small. It works great. I noticed a universe of difference with the starspecs and a world of difference going from anniversery wheels (29lb) to the Works (20lb).

What classes are all you running in?


My last class letter fell off... certainly not an ST car.

 

Anybody running a 17" setup with brembos?

 

OEM 17s will fit over Brembos. A lot of others fit too.

 

The 17" sets I quoted above were over Stoptech's 332mm kit, so I'm confident it's fair to say those sets will fit over Brembos as well.

 

eye candy thread ftw.

so nice to actually see functional wheels on a car. sick of the herrafrush craze.

semi-flush is hot. hella flush is not. (imo)

 

18x10.5 +15 with 285/30 A6's. I also use some 18x9's RPF1's with 255 star specs for club events.

 

so im thinking about trying to run a 305 all the way around the car...on some RPF1's...should i go with a 10.5 all around??? my fenders are already rolled and flaired out some from doing to stupid hella flush stuff...but im switching it up and doing a whole new setup...

 

Street tires or R-comps? I am going to run 315's (hoosier doesn't make a 305 in 18's) next year.

 

305s probably fit in the front, but you'd need to run a good amount of negative camber, not be too low (I'd say no more than an inch?), and/or need wheels with relatively high offset (+20s or +30s, but too high of an offset means your wheel/tire may hit the suspension components).

 

im thinking about an agressive street tire...just because ill be using the car on the road as well...but how difficult is it to run a 315 in front?? and on what size wheel?

 

I can't comment I will probably hack up the fenders a bit to make them fit. It isn't a street car anymore....not overly concerned with looks. My front fender height is 25.3" from the ground to center of the fender.

If you are going to run a 305 street tire....I'd run a 10.5 or 11" wheel. It will perform best on that width.

 

im trying to make it look as good as i can but still be fully functional...im not scared to do some body work...im on Stance GR+ coils with camber arms front and rear so i figure i wana get the offset right on an 11" wheel so im not hitting any of the "goods" then worry about fenders from there maybe run something like 2.5 degrees of camber...

 

Yes.

 

with high HP you should run lower camber. I would say max of 1.8 and a Target of 1.5 in the rear. I don't even run 2.5 camber on the rear of my NA car.

 

thx for the advise! im still going to be a little while b4 i am track ready but im trying to get my plans all set out right now while the new motor is going in.

 

What would be the reasoning for less negative camber on a lesser HP car vs a higher HP car?

 

I dont have the wheels yet, but I'll be running hankook RS3s
