I reckon that you could have fun in ANYTHING on a race track.

Totally can, I took my mostly standard KE70 wagon out on Manfeild and had a ball.

bit of a bump for the old thread - anyone want to reccomend some rim sizes for ease of obtaining decent tyres etc?

obviously bigger wheels will let me fit bigger brakes at some stage too... i have the car now, and it currently has 13s on it. the tyres are not the best, so was thinking about getting some more suitable wheels for it at the same time. thoughts appreciated!

15X6.5 or 15X7 would be best option.

You can get some decent size rotors and calipers in there and there is plenty of 15" track spec tyres out there.

15x6.5 Advanti CP035C

Cheap and easy to get hold of

As above. Something around the 15x7 mark with a good offset (not rubbing) is the best place to start. Then keep an eye out for second hand semi-slicks or good road tyres and go for a burn.

I was thinking about this the other night and another important thing came to mind.

It's always good to have a trackday buddy - someone with a similar car that is keen for the same events. It means you can keep eachother motivated and lets each of you set benchmarks for the other one to reach... There's nothing better than an on-going competition between friends.

Even setting yourself realistic goals. Such as a time bracket to reach without modifying the car more to reach but by improving lines and driving etc

If you need a trackday buddie, im slowly working on my FX-GT and wouldn't mind a mate who is actually into cars...

so you'd say 15x6.5 would be a min? looking at some 15x6 weds sports which i quite like, and they take a 195 okay. what sort of widths do you get semis etc in?

but those advantis are pretty reasonable too.

barark - yeah man sure thing, sounds good!

by **1I1** » Wed Apr 28, 2010 3:17 pm

195/50/15 or 195/55R15 poss

so a 6 inch rim would be ok too then?

by **Truenotch** » Thu Apr 29, 2010 12:07 am

15x6 would be bare minimum... If they're cheap enough then no probs, but you will wear the outside shoulder of the tyres more. The bonus is 15x6 weds would weigh nothing.

toyo t1rs seemed cheapest in 205/15/50.. 195 was more some reason...

so 7s are realistic... 6inch getting on the small side
