What is your TRACK setup?

I'm going to be getting some 17's w/ R-compound for track purposes. Just wondering what the rest of you are running for both rims and tires. I would love to get like some 17" TE37's, CE28N's or something, but I think those will be out of my price range.

Most likely gonna go with some Gram Lights or something. As for tires, I'm debating between Kumho V710's or paying extra for Hoosier R6.

What rims, tires and sizes are you all running for track?

Check out the Autocross/Road Motorsports forum. Lots of posts in there.

I went cheap. a set of OEM 17's with Hoosiers in a 225 work wonders.

I use my OEM 18's for autox/track use. Once the pilots wear out, I'll be putting Falken Azenis RT-615 245/40R18 on all fours.

Dude, this board is about "bling"- 19" with fat lip, Tag Heuers, scorn for BMW's
and endless discussions about oil and "best" gas.
Your question is totally out of place. Go away


I trash my T1R in 225/45/17 on stock 17'...Judging from performance 245/40/17 on 17x8.5 would be better choice. No 18's for sure, unless you got BBK(some actually work with 17'-332 mm)

For now I'm using my stock 18's with the Pilots in front and SP9000 for the rear. This is a bad setup so I will be changing to 17's and PS2 tires all around. I don't know what type of rims just yet, but I will be getting one for sure.

The OEM Pilots I found to be decent on the first few laps, but after like 6-7 laps they start to slip too much.
