Ultimate auto-x wheel & tire combo

[DSP74]

REAL racing wheel. Not the prettiest, but WAY, WAY lighter than the circle steel wheels.

Any other wheel shoices for a 15x10? other then Diamond and Kodiak (i really like Kodiak, but not in the budget at the moment)

damn how often do you go? one set usually lasts me a season and a bit more.. it is nice to have new tires though :)

No, just a joke about how quickly these things wear out.

I ran my set for about half this past season and the other set is used, about 15 runs on them. I should make it to half way through 2009.

"275/35/15" tire that brought some excitment back to autocross :)

anyone know of any good 15x10 Wheels? other then Diamond Racing wheels?

If you have the dough, Kodiak wheels are sweet, Leaps and bounds better than Diamond...

You could very easily cut the wheel opening out and weld the seam back up and get HUGE flairs put on.

What does the rear quarter area look like structurally inside the rear outter skin and between the inner fender? I wonder how much you can lower the car with a 25.5" tall tire back there......FWIW a 305/30/18 is a little shorter than a 315.

I'm still kickin' around the idea of goin' the steam roller route.

275/35/15. 15x10's. What I beleive would be the best grip to weight ratio....
285/30/18 on 18x10's. Heavier and taller. A little big bigger contact patch. Gearing concerns come up. For better or worse--same deal with all choices actually.
All out no holds barred don't car what it looks like and I have a shit ton O'HP, so I need it combo.................18x10's 285/30/18's in front 17x11's 315/35/17's in the rear..........315 is quite a bit taller but with alot of HP and gearing that doesn't matter. Stick to the shorter 285 up front.....
With the new breed of tire, you are faster with a big cool tire, than a small smokin' hot tire. Temperature concerns come up from old timers using the older Hoosier autox tire.

+ 1. same set up.

Ive got two sets of A3S05's in this size. Should last me until the end of this season, lol :(

I have run these on my car. I used an 8mm spacer up front, should have been a 10-12mm and needs a 3-5mm in the rear. Great setup, I would recommend...

+1 But you need to get out and auto-x on your street tires first to get used to it. IMHO

Agreed this will be my first year on Rcomps in SM after 2 years in STX....

As long as i get the S50 in... otherwise ill be running some 205/50/14 on baskets in GS...

225/50-14 hoosiers and 14"x6.5 basketweaves

cheap, light and effective. you RWD guys will need a small spacer up front to clear the strut but it's not a big deal (you should have studs if you are changing wheels often anyway).
