Default TRACTION

So Ive been trying to read through all of the tire size stuff on here and wow. There is so much this and that it makes my head spin.

I dont care how it looks, or if its hella flush or whatever. All I want is a tire size, and rim size/offset that has been proven to work on the track by someone who has some credit to their name.

Id prefer it to be 17", and not rolling the fenders, but if it will make alot of difference I can roll my fenders. I may also lower the car slightly. And Im not so crazy about the staggered sizes on a 50/50 weight dist. Is there something Im missing?

17x9 +63.... you will need to bend the tabs in the front fenders a little and run a bit of front camber (which is better for performance anyway) but they fit nicely with 255's... There are a LOT of guys running this setup for STR class autox and it works very very well.

sweet thanks man. so i can get away with 255's up front with this combo and not rub? sounds like the way to go
