wheel make and size

[buntyhoven]

Hi, i have a 172 cup, and am going to be using it for track days. It has 16" wheels on it at the mo, what size is best on the 172 cup for track use? 15" or 16"? and how wide? I will be fitting the car with some sort of coilovers too.....

I've got the same dilema. I really want to stick with 16s but A048s and R888s arent available in 45 profile for them. Would rather go for 50s than drop to 15s i think (providing they wont rub at all).

Go to 15's personaly. Tyres are cheaper plus you,can get used slcikers cheaper etc form the Cup race teams etc.

so 15s it is then what sizes are the right ones for track use? ie 6 or 7 inch wide? and what size tyre to fit over them? thanks

Dends what wheels your using personaly I'd use some of the dynamique wheels you can pick them up cheap ther 6 inch I think so loads of cheap tyres fit I think Yozzas got some 205 to fit them once.
