I am currently at the stage where I'm about to buy a second set of wheels.
These will be lightweight reasonably expensive wheels so I want to get it right the first time!
Firstly, for the track how important is getting the correct center bore size? If the wheel has a larger center bore so it fits, will this be okay?
My main question however is what size wheels should I get.
I'll be getting either 17" (minimum required to clear brakes) or 18".
I'm leaning towards 17" because I believe they will be better on the track and I don't care about the extra 'bling' of the 18s.
Also I'm insure of 8" or 8.5" width. 8" and I will run 225's, 8.5" and I will run 245s. I'm wondering if 245s will be overkill or would I see a noticeable gain in grip? I'm getting thick antiroll bars so I think I should go with the 245's to make the most of them!
Just after peoples thoughts!
The plan is to run regular high performance tyres on the standard wheels and then a road legal semi slick on the new wheels for when I want to take the car to the track.
