I'm on a budget, so I'm wanting to find out what kind of rims I can run on my car. I am an armature at this, so I am not going to be running hot around the cones. Based on my current experience and talent with AC, my friend told me to go with stock steelies. Open to any advice. Thanks Mike Kelly

Thanks Mike Kelly I wanted to refresh this thread by maybe qualifying my question. several years ago I read a thread that stated "never autocross on Riviera's". Currently I have Empi 8 spokes mounted, but I do have a set of fake 4 bolt Fuch's I bought a few years ago. So do you think the Empi's are good enough, or should I mount the Fuchs. Your opinions are very welcome. If I am to mount new tires as suggestion, any recommendation for an novis AC. The car is driven very little on the road. Mike Kelly |

Mike Kelly There are some very good tires out there - the problem will be finding them in sizes that will fit your rims. Search tirerack for the size you want and pay attention to the treadwear number. For street legal tires, anything under 200 will be very sticky and still very drivable on the road. Here's a search for 205-50/15's - technically not the "right" size (the speedo will read faster than actual), but probably a good size for AX. We race the Dunlop Direzza's on our 944 Lemons car. https://www.tirerack.com/tires/TireSearchRe...rearDiameter=17 |
