Most are going to recommend the Enkei RPF1 setups. Every AutoX I go to they are by far the most popular. Me personally, I've been looking for a simple stock 350Z Rays V1 set as they are also very light and affordable.

Of course, for tires most are going to recommend R-Comps or a hybrid tire such as the Dunlop Direzza Star Specs. They are the supposed king of autocross.

Big HP, use Enkei NT03's in 9.5 front and 10.5 rear. They have great offsets to run huge rubber on.

Funny you mention that...those are the wheels I'm going with. 18x9.5 +30 in the front and 18x10.5 +38 rear. I need the wheels before I pick rubber but I'm expecting to be able to fit some hogs in the front and back. Always wanted to run these wheels.

Its a 10.5 +30 rear, and you can easily fit a 315 out back with them. Was thinking about trying to mount my 10.5's up front and see if they clear, i just need to get bored one day.

Mine is simple, stock wheels 225/45/18 and 275/40/18 Nitto 555's. Around here they are a little picky on rules, so if I change my wheels size (go wider) I risk getting bumped from CStock...I'd rather not to at this point lol. So I'm still running stock wheels

Only in wet weather do I make sure they are rotating the correct direction. Otherwise I rotate them between events to extend the life and even out the wear.

Word, I have a buddy who runs his R888 in reverse, he says their faster, flips them around in the rain obviously.

I run 2 sets, both on MB Wheels.

Hoosier Rains 275/40/17 - MB Competition 17x9 +27


Tried a set of Continental GA Take-Offs 275/40/17 - MB Weapons 17x9 +15


Corded them...


Now Im back to my trusty Nitto NT-01's 275/40/17 and running better times than I did on those slicks.
