What's everyone running for wheels and tire size on their race cars?
Do you go with a staggered setup or square? What size wheel? What size tire? What do you run for rains? So far I've tried 15x8&9 with 245x40x15 DOT comp tires on all four corners Maxxis Victra RC-1 16x10 with slicks on all four corners. Dunlop 265x60x16 slicks I'm most likely going to run 16x8&9 next weekend with 245x45x16 on all four corners with RA-1s. I've got some 15x9&11 that I may try down the road with my local club and when I run COTA with SVRA later this year I'll have to go to 15x8 on all 4. I'm new to this car and am still learning it and learning to race. |

I'm running 15x7 205/60/15 front and 15x8 225/50/15 rear with RA-1s and loving it. I also have a set of 16x7 205/55/16 and 16x8 225/50/16 using 888s. Can't get the 205/55/16 in 888s now. Don't like this combo too much. What are you running for a front spoiler/splitter up front? My car came with a rear spoiler similar to yours but was missing it's front. I pulled it off since I'm running just the normal 6-gt front bumper setup and was concerned about balance. Thanks for the datapoint. I'm running in the rain it looks like this weekend so trying the Ra-1 toyos and mounted on 16x8&9 fuchs. 245x45x16 all the way around. |

Same piece of fiberglass, just repaired..the beauty of glass.... This setup is very stable for me at high speeds. |
