The plan for the track car is to run R888s in 255/50r16 without flares.
Anyone have any ideas on offset for a 16x8 or 16x9 wheel?

Man, thats a pretty tall tire, why not 245 45 16? I have these on 16X9 on the back of my 911. Let me know if you want actual dimensions measured, it's a big tire.

I want to run the widest tire possible, as the car will be fighting for traction either way. Thus, running a 16x9 would 'in theory' allow me to run a 255 without the tire being 'lazy', so to speak. I'm not terribly concerned about the gearing difference at the moment, as I still don't have a definite rear ratio picked out.
The tread width of the 255/50 is .6" greater than that of the 245/45, however, the 255/50 is comparable to a 26" slick, while the 245/45 is closer to a 24".
If I only had the option of an 8" wheel, than the 255/50 would be completely out of the question compared to the 245/45, however, I'm wondering if the hint of stretch of the 255/50 on the 16x9 would make it respond similar to that of a 245/45 on an 8" wheel, thus allowing me to keep response while gaining tread width.
Do you have any pictures of the 245/45 on the 16x9 by chance?

Also, Lorin, those 245s look beefy! Would you mind grabbing an accurate measurement of the tread width on them?
