oem 18" wheels for track use

American guys always think that bigger tires are always better, but it's not always right. - In relation to what type of racing???

Good sticky and narrow tires like Toyo R888 will give you enough grip and very good steering response, and VERY predictable handling. - This statement is bullcrap unless you're rally racing on snow/ice.

If you get wider and wider tires grip doesnt grow up...
and yes, if you leave the standard suspension setup you will get big understeer on tracks... - This statement makes no sense.

I'd go with standard 18s for the track, 225/235 front and 245/255/265 rear
the problem is that there are not many track tires in this size range - Then why are you asking us?

now the question is, there are some cheap 18x8 and 18x9 wheels? - Go to ebay...

Yes, I'm having a bad day.
