Help choosing Autocross Wheels

14BlackCherry · 01-24-2016, 05:58 PM

Hi guys I'm going to be running in STR this year however I'm having trouble finding 18x9 that will clear the sport brakes. My budget is 2k. Any suggestions?

Thank you

Just run ASP then you can run whatever wheel and tire combo you want.

Seriously though, try getting a hold of J-Rho. I know he was running STR in his Z.

I did and he gave me a couple options, Volk ZE40 and Enkei RS05RR. I just wanted to see what other options were too.

There's a lot of good info in this thread.

The foregsters f14 are good, custom sizes and clear the brakes,

Thanks Brendan. I'm not seeing very many 9" mainly 9.5" also there is a picture of Z in STR but his wheel/tire setup is illegal for STR....

Thanks I'll have to research those. I was also thinking of some PF01 18x9 +35. I wonder if those would fit?

you could buy two sets of the 18 in base wheels and use the rear wheels on all four corners. They are 18x9 and +15 offset.

Although I don't think the rules will let you have that big of a change in offset from stock.

STR is open on wheels as long as they're 9" wide unlike BS. I was looking at pulling the trigger on some PF01's 18x9 +35. Seems like their design clears big calipers seems like a good option. They weigh in at 20lbs each.

Alright I've come up with three options. I need to verify they clear the sport calipers so if you know don't be afraid to chime in lol.

Option #1:

WedsSport TC105N - 18x9.0 / 5x114.3 / Offset +35 (TS Titan)

Option #2:

Enkei PF01 Wheel - 18 x 9.0 / 5x114.3 / +35

Option #3:

Enkei RS05RR Wheel - 18x9.0 / 5x114.3 / Offset +35 (Face F)

I really don't care for looks just want the lightest option, and the one which clears the calipers. If you guys know of any other options let me know just keep in mind they have to be 18x9 per SCCA.

I run 18x9.5 +35 PF01's on the front for my track rims. The 18x9 should be more than fine. I feel for you with those 9 inch/255 tire restricitions. I ran 275F/305R this past season and that wasn't enough O.o hah
