Hi All, I would like to know what you guys think is the best size to use on track, I was thinking 17 or 18"? Also what widths to go with wider the better i guess? New to trackdays so any help would be great! :wink:
I prefer 17" wheels because of the following reasons:
1) Lighter
2) Mass is closer to axel so it takes less energy to rotate
3) 245/40R17 tires are easier to find than 245/35R18
4) 18" are more expensive with no performance gain
Now I would run run 18" wheels if i was going to run a wider tire like 255 or 265 because then I could get 18x8.5 or 18x9. However those would likely require some sort of fender modification and/or camber plates.
do you guys daily drive these setups or strictly track? cause i want to get 17x8 oz alleggerita and some wide rubber for the street since i don't track my car but i may try the autocross school at waterfest
