As some of you may remember I'm trying to build my E30 for STX competition.
There is a poor selection of tires for this class unless running a 17" wheel. My question.
Is the sidewall support difference between 7.5" vs 8" wheel going to be that big of a deal, will it even be noticeable, when running a 235/40 or 245/40/17?
The Falken Hanabi can be had for $110 each, but its 17 x 7.5", that's DIRT cheap for a pretty lightweight 17" wheel. I'd only have to run a 5mm spacer to have it basically perfect.
The Team Dynamics 17 x 8" in that offset would cost $250 each and weigh 20lbs vs 17lbs for the Falken.
