The perfect wheel size for the SW20
Whats the perfect wheel size for the SW20 if i plan to do a bit of drag racing, highway cruising, and road racing on the weekends? (SCCA)..
I was thinking like a 17x7 on the front, and 17x9 in the rear. Also, is a 17x7 front, and 17x8 in the rear a large enough gap between the front and rear wheels? Because thats all this one company sells, and i really want those wheels..

Re: The perfect wheel size for the SW20
If you are looking to do "drag racing, highway cruising, and road racing" 17s are going to probably be your worst choice. 15s are going to be your best bet.

Re: The perfect wheel size for the SW20
15's or 16's depending on what profile of tire you want to run.
and sticky tires, of course

Re: The perfect wheel size for the SW20
yeah i'd go 15 or 16 for race. wouldn't want bigger than 16's.
gonna get 18's (volk) for show. i got 16X7 and 16X8 at the moment and that seems fine so if you WANT 17's that should be enough stagger. perhaps you should consider race work on your old (presumably smaller) wheels and put your 17's on for cruising and every day driving. bump.

Re: The perfect wheel size for the SW20
Ill go with 16's if i can find a 16x7, 16x8-9 fitment... But all the wheels that even come in staggered fitment in 16 inches are like Volk or Work. Im looking to pay a MAX of 300 a wheel..

Re: The perfect wheel size for the SW20
As long as you stagger the tire size, staggering the rim is not crucial.

Re: The perfect wheel size for the SW20
mines staggered will try and find out what they are... never bothered before (came with them on)\
seen lots of others staggered though. 1piece so not exp. jeckyls right though... just need to stagger tyres. in fact would prob be good. running a narrow tyre on a wide rim kinda stretches the tyre out more and makes it roll less... good thing on the front cause it helps your turn in and steering reaction.
