I think 18 x 10 all around fora roadtrack is the right choice. I put the GT 500 wheels on my '07 GT and they look great. Based on the GTs,I think18 x 10will fit but I want to recheck after I finish lowering the car which should be in a week or so. Ground Control is late with the coilover kit because Koni can't get their s___together on the rear dampers.

I have talked to CCW in the past.Looks like a good product. I have 18 x 9 Forgelines on my E46 M3 track car and they are very nice and about 19 lbs. They will pretty much make anything you want if you tell them what offset you want. When I get the car lowered I can check the fitment and let you know. In addition to body clearance there is an issue with the tires clearing the front struts.

I disagree. I think 18x10 isn't necessary. American Iron cars are limited to a 275 tire, which fit's a 9" rim nicely. If those guys can get it done with those tires there's certainly no reason to go bigger with a street car. With the price of tires past that point, it's a little fool-hearty to waste the money - in my opinion

the Enkei's are light, but yes a few good smacks on the rumble strips will hurt them quick. On an autocross course I really don't see the orange cones as a big threat lol.

Good point Rodeoflyer,

If I could get my mind to think that a 18x9 wheel was wide enough then it would be so much easier to get a good light wheel that is cheap and the 275/40/18 tire is a dime a dozen. It is basically 1.5 times more money to get the cheapest 285/40/18 tire. I would get more sleep and stop frequenting wheel web sites, ha ha.

I just don't want to buy multiple sets of wheels, you know a really wide flashy set for the street and a wow, those rims should be on a honda track set.

Being able to rotate tires front to back is what I want, so I guess its back to looking at 18x9 or 18x9.5 (he he) on the tire rack.

it took them a while to beat it into my head too! lol

It would be great if american racing made a 19lb 18x9 DD torque thrust wheel, I like that look classic look. Last time I checked their wheels weight 28+lbs for the size and I don't think they were DD style.

RodeoFlyer

no this is what sucks - since i'm going to a big brake kit soon i'll have to buy ANOTHER set of wheels becuase my bullit's w/ street tires wont clear the calipers

UrS4

thanks for reminding me, i heard that too about not clearing bigger calipers.

skip the DD look

The Mustangs you order to go road racing come with 18X10's and i doubt Ford would pay Fikse to make those wheels if it wasn't necessary.

Why do you say American muscle cars are limited to a 275 tire? Are you talking about a rule somewhere?

AI can only run a 17x9.5 and its spec Toyo RA-1
AIX can go up to 18x11 on any DOT tire.
