What are the Widest Tires Possable?
#16
Slow ride, jwtodd60 has a point I would be knocked out of my stock class so I have actually changed my mind I am going to leave my Pilot Sport SP2's on the FNO1R-C's and us my stock 17x8 for my race wheels. That will give me the best fit for racing at 245/45or40/17.
I am not worried about the price diffy with the 2 tires does anyone have an opinion on which is better for Central NY asphalt? Remember in any day up here it can go from 55-75 degrees and visa versa.
VictoRacer V700 Shaved 4/32nds
or
Yokohama A032R Soft Compound
Jwtodd60, I cannot understand why anyone would want to go with a 18" rim wouldn't that make you slower at autoX?

As for 17" vs 18" the debate on that has raged on and off pretty much since the Evo hit the US. The basic tradeoff is sidewall height (shorther sidewall = better response) vs increased weight. Tire availability is another consideration. Anyway, most of the top ESP or SM Evos that I am aware of are running 18's, so you can draw from that what you will. I'm one the fence myself, I think I would run 17.5s
