Not Another Wheel & Tire "Will They Fit" Thread
 
So I have done the research and know what will and won't fit and I am down to (2) options on tire sizes in the PS4S and wheels. My preference would be to go bigger front and rear as well as decrease the front to rear width bias. So the question is, does one of the choices stand out to those that track the car over another or have I missed any other important factors. As always thank you for the input!

Has anyone tried the selections I made highlighted in orange? The height difference is a concern in the rear primarily.

They look good, I don't know these tires though so this is theoretical talk.. Tread width between the stock size and 255s is minimal, not sure you will feel any benefit, dropping pressures a bit will take care of that gap easily with stock sizes. Whats your main usage?

These will be for use in Time Trials thats why 200+ treadwear is required.

:eek:

What I would do (not knowing your limitations), I would go 9.5" front to maximize tire footprint on 265s and ET47-49. For the rear, I would use 345s with 12.0" and ET 47-49. If the car is not too low in the rear the 345 will not rub.

That is where I was headed, I know this sounds cheap but for a wheel that is going to see only track duty I would rather not speed $10K as it seems a bit silly for the advantage it provides. That is why I was looking at either the OZ wheels or a set of OEM take off's at $3000-4000 per set which is a lot easier to justify.

I run Cup 2's on 265 front on 9x20 Forgeline (+52) and it rubs slightly inside wheel well at full turn.
Rear I run 325 on 12x20 (+47) and it sticks out a little more than I like.

Spot-on.. Hard to justify the expense for a few tenths.. Something we can get back with better driving most often.

I use OZ but in 19"

The 19's clear the PCCB? If so that should open tire options!

I had read your posts in the track forum and was excited to do the same but they offer those sizes in the cup tires but not the PS4S :-( So I started down this path!
