No limits tyre/wheel combo for track - 275/305+? No hellacrap
#11
I run custom rpf1's in the rear that are 17x11.5 +50 with a kumhoxs 295/35/17. This tire in discontined and i will be going to a 315/35/17 nitto nt05 soon. It should fit great with my asm rear flares.

Thank you so very much for this rather intriguing approach, it would probably be the best way to go if not for usual legal BS complications Local regulations - can't see anything disallowing aluminium wheels widened but neither allowing, which isn't good, only steel is allowed it seems, still waiting on response from the experts.
Other issue is the 315/35/17s are only available in Australia, nothing at all here so I think will have to stick with 18s, it will get far more expensive than 18s otherwise. Oh to be in the land of the free...
Have found a local supplier of 275/35/18 Hoosier R6 and 305/645/R18 Hoosier R80 used slicks which will significantly make this more achievable and affordable. Another is Falken RT615K in 315/30/18 and Horizon but never heard of them.
Heaps of range in 295 and below though including nittos.
Decisions decisions...
Leaning towards forgestar M14 custom rears 18x11.5 in 50-60 offset and probably cheap out with some 18x10.5 F14 fronts. I notice there is a 25 dollar price difference between the 'super deep concave' and 'semi concave' versions.

I guess that makes little difference clearance wise and is more cosmetic?
Sorry for the million questions, could talk all day about superbike wheels/tyres but still learning car wheels. The rest of a car I'm reasonably well versed in though >_<

Second I have been very tempted by Forgestar wheels and used to recommend them until this thread.

I would hope the issues have been resolved but still it is worrying. Their pricing does make them very tempting since I think they are likely the cheapest option for custom offsets. Definitely cheaper than CCW's.
