Autocrossing Wheels

What class you shooting for?

Sadly, I have to run AS.

I don't have mods to go into BSP.

I don't have money to invest into purple cracks, and I've never driven this car to the limit yet. So buying purple cracks would be a stupid decision that could end with a side of my car gone by going off-track/course

Stock class FTW.

Reason I asked: I thought wheel width has to remain the same as stock?

They do.

Stock Specs are as follows:

18x8 ET 42
18x9 ET 30

Of course, it's going to be near impossible to run aftermarket wheels that are that same offset. I figure if I get close enough; it should be fine. Since I'm running street tires, they shouldn't mind about a 5mm difference

I am selling my OZ SuperLeggeras (LIGHT and strong) which are 18x8 and 18x9. I think offset for the front is 42 and rear is 40. Nothing wrong with a 10mm wheel spacer

yep, wheel spacer will keep you legal, and you can be +/- 6.5mm from stock offset. (1/4")

Stick to the rules. If a 5mm difference technically isn't allowed, in fairness to other competitors, please don't.

I assume they won't be my type of cheap (aka sub $500). Thanks though for the offer. I don't want to low-ball you

Hoosiers - aka R-Comps. They are called purple cracks because once you start running them it's an addiction.

And I'll run spacers in the back to keep the specs legal

[az3579]

start running them it's an addiction.

I didn't get the "purple" part 'till you said Hoosier. Now it all makes sense!

Hmm, first to come to mind are Kosei K1's (cheap), APEX ARC-8's, D-Force LTW5, Forgestar F14, SSR maybe. I know the Kosei's and APEX's won't work but maybe check out the others. Hard to get light rims under $500.
