Track Tire + Wheel "Square" Set-up Help

Why do you want to go square? Our cars really aren't meant to wear the same size wheels front and back...simply because of the width and offset of the rear

Why do you want to go square? Our cars really aren't meant to wear the same size wheels front and back...simply because of the width and offset of the rear wheels. The hubs are pretty far in and the fenders are really made to accommodate some aggressive size rubber.

Is your suspension stock? You might be able to get away with those 18x10.5" +38 Enkei wheels all around, but you'll need a 15mm or 20mm spacer for the rear and maybe a 5mm for the front if you have clearance issues with the knuckle...but the front should be fine with them even without a spacer.

For tires, it really depends on the amount of money you want to spend so I'll leave that for you to decide, or maybe another form member has a suggestion...but for 10.5" wheels you'd need to run around a 285, which is fine to run 285s all around, maybe you can even do 305s all around like the new Camaro Z/28
