Who's making the move to STU?

Now that that is out of the way your logic goes against pretty much everything that has been posted in the track section on the best wheel selection for track or autocross. Most run 18x10.5 with a NA build with a 275 35 tire. A few of us have stepped up to 18x11s and there are smaller number running 18x12 or 19x12 (those running 19x12 run a staggered setup). The handling characteristics of the 18" tire is much better than 19's so you gain on turn in and exit. Also on a NA car 18's have the same impact as changing your gearing to about 4:08 but probably not that much. After running tire size through a calculator there is only 4 mph difference in fourth gear. You will also gain time in acceleration because you are running a smaller wheel and tire diameter.

I guess if you want to do something different than every highly successful 370z time attack or racecar more power to you, it is your car and your fun! Good luck and let us know how well it works out for you.
