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. |

What about for street tyres on 15 x 7 and 15 x 8" Fuchs? (slight thread hijack) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif)

If you want something taller with better tread wear Kumho still has an option available (Ecsta AST). If you want stock size original style tires you can get those too, but I'm not sure where. |

What size are the Kumhos? And also what were the original tyre sizes for 15x 7 and 8s? Cheers Craig |

Cheers Craig Kumho's are 225/50/15 and 205/55/15 they are different model tires, but I think they were close enough both ecsta series and 400 tw. Stock I believe was one more tire size up, closer to a 25" diameter. 225- https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?ti...rtnum=25HR5EAST 205- https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?ti...romCompare1=yes |
