wanted to see what people are using for road racing, i was thinking of running rpf1's 17x9 with dunlop z1 starspecs possibly 255/40/17. but what wheel size, tire size and offset are you guys running on? you guys ever run staggered?

 

Do not stagger.

Will this be a road racing only tire? Whats your budget for tires? Just a fun track day car or serious put it too them car? Current suspension mods?

 

My suggestion -
Wheels: 5zigen fno1r-c 17x9
Tires: Nitto NT01 255/40/17

 

Is this for a timed event or track days? Meaning, is this for driver's education or time attack/time trials?

If it's just for track days....start with stock sized tires and learn how to drive. Or at least stick with something reasonable (not 295 r-comps on 12 inch wide steamrollers). Saves money on brakes, saves money on tires, and you'll be a better driver in the end. Step the size/compound up slowly when you're ready.

Yeah i know....that's not the "cool" answer.

Whats your budget? Track only? Any racing or time attack class you are trying to fit into?

EDIT: ^^^Beat me to it hahaha.

 

+1. I ran this exact setup last year with good results. Bolts run on, no rubbing or spacers needed!

 

Look at my sig ...good starting point if you have the $$$

 

17x9 are a good size. I run FNORC-1 17x9 on my evo IX

 

those buddy clubs are hott i was thinking of grabbing those with PIC coilovers but yeah $$$ !!

 

Its one of the lightest 17x9 wheels...

 

Holy shiet!!! Pictures like that will make me want to keep them...do you have anymore???

 

wow sickkk, how much do these buddy clubs weigh?

 

It weigh 14.4 lbs, and its lighter than 17x8.5 ce which weigh 14.6 lbs.

 

Let me see if I can find some more, but god I love those tires youre selling. It is so hard to find ones here.

 

boomn, you are able to fit the 255 x 17's in the car with the rollbar?
