Making the right wheel / tier selection

Masterbeatty · 01-13-2014, 07:34 PM

Alright I am starting to get my stuff together for this years season of fun and I'm about to drop some money on track only wheels and tiers. My choice is 4- nt03 18x9.5 +27 wrapped in toyo r888 275 35 18's and what to know everyone's opinion before i buy. I am on stock suspension now but planning on getting stance pro comp 2's custom made. But that won't be for another few months. So is this a wise choice or should I change it up slightly. I don't want to spend more than $2500.

What wheels?
And what about a square 10"?

I'm sorry enkei nt03's. I want something similar to the stock 18's what I use now, Sub 20 lbs. I can get a wheel tire deal for $2490. If run 10 in. then I have to spend more money to make it work and 275 is already a lot of meat. How much would I really gain from going wider all around. I'm pretty sure I would have to remove the fender liners to run a 295 or wider in the front and buy the cf wide fenders since they don't make them in fiberglass.

Rpf1 18x9.5 +45 front w/ 20mm spacer, 18x10.5" +15 rear and soon to be 18x9.5 +15 square on 285/35/19's here. If you want those wheels I think you're good. I'd just do 285/35/18's though in the RS-3.

Don't buy the r888, they will be past their time before u get coilovers. Get the nt01
