some of you might be aware that i just purchased a 89 951 race car (the one in classifieds)right now he is running 16 " wheels ...i am upgrading to 17's and was wondering what size tires you guys are running on your cars?any help would be greatly appreciated.oh and the car does have flared fenders so i guess the more meat the better...i just dont know where to begin

thanks

Congrats on the new car.

Hoosier 245/17 front on 8.5" Fikse FM-5s and 275/17 rears on 10" FM5s for races.
For practices/DEs I run 255/17 fronts and 275 rears.

With your flared fenders, you should be able to stuff some serious rubber under there. I'd recommend at least 275s all around and maybe more in the rear if you're running serious hp.

With the flared fenders, have someone who knows how to measure wheels determine what offset you need.

If you're going to race w/ PCA, I guess width doesn't matter as you'll be in unlimited GT class anyway.

Hey Doug - 275's and 315's on 10's and 12's seem to be popular with guys running widebodies . This is what I am planning on running on my racecar. Not sure if you have a brand of wheels in mind but check CCW's:

Pretty reasonably price (price recently jumped a bit which stinks) and very light and strong.

I am running 295 17's front and 315 17's on the rear with wide body. Hope this helps.

depends on the type of tires you plan to run , you can get mucho slicks for 16's , very limited selection for 17's and then mucho again for 18's..

allergic2milk

does that mean that you will have early offset 16 inch wheels up for grabs?
