get some different wheels with the correct offset. the rules only say that they have to be dot rated tires. easy fix.

[Carfreak18]

Thats me on the drivers side getting in..blue firesuit..black and white hat=raiders...what do you mean by correct offset?

[TheSilentChamber]

Your a "race car" "driver" and you dont know what offset is?

Or what brand of tyres he's running, or for that matter how to read the rules and regulations of his class, or even how to chat with other drivers at track, in what is clearly a class aimed at low budget entry level drivers, and so should be filled with lots of helpful advice.
Oh, and don't forget his cousin, who has a shop, and works on cars, but isn't a mechanic and who dosn't know how a strut comes apart.


Its either all really bad fantasy, or I hear lots of Dueling Banjos.

Oh sorry I dint explain my life story to you guys, my fault..its my uncles auto body shop,hes retired now and we use it for the race cars..how about you all just stop talking cuz none of you obviously can help me..

the way i figure it you drive in a very amatuer form of racing and have been making it out to be bigger than it really is, whilst asking for some genuine help.

your cousin has done bits and bobs in a garage but isn't really a mechanic and just gives you a helping (non-technical) hand.
you race but are in no way an experienced driver.

your "racing team" is two guys who tend to a car (badly)

how close is this?

[ac427cpe]

as far as your question goes... look up the origonal wheel size for your car. It will be "wheel diameter x wheel width" or vice versa and et# or jj# that # is the number of mm the mounting face of the wheel is from the center. more important in your situation i think is the backspacing. you need to find out how much room you have between the strut tower and the mounting face of your wheel, after you know that you can determine what width wheels to look for so you don't have so much wheel sticking out from under your car.
