18's, 19's or 20's? (I know another wheels thread)

[GT915]

You don't see many square wide 18 inch setups on the market but Cruizin Concepts has 18x10 Steeda Ultralites with 285/40s square for a relatively cheap price. Just sayin

18 square set up for road racing
20's When you want to roll and look good....:dancenana:

I was/am in the same boat as you. I will not road course the car so I don't need the 18s for that. I needed a dr and there were none that fit the brembo rims. So I went ahead and ordered some 20s. Now I have my street tires that will hook and will look killer while doing so. I have big's and little's when Im trying to make et passes so the 20s served my purpose perfectly. In your case if you are not trying to have a set of rims just for your racing purposes then 18s are your best bet to be a great all around size with many tire options.

Reread the OP post. He will be road racing the car.

Why do people not read? Stop giving input on DR setups and stagger setups.

20s dont look good though.

With $8k I would get two sets. Either 19 or 20's for road, 18s are too small, and 18 for track days.

Sure 20's look good if you like paying too much for rubber and having your car look like a Shamero.

Tired of people failing to read something nowadays.

I wanted tire options so I went 18s. Not square, but then again this car isn't set up for road racing.

And those look so perfect.

20s look the best but also ride the worst. 19s are a good option and is what I would have gone with but the Super Snakes come in 20s so I was sold.

Amazes me that people think those are too small. 18s are actually pretty big IMO. Looks good btw

I am assuming no one here has driven anything other than a Mustang, look at a Mini Cooper, those are probably 13's, that's small.

 

[StangingAround]

The difference in handling from 20's to 18's is astounding. While I do think 20's look good on certain setups I much prefer the race car look of 18's.

 

[dirtyd88]

Funny you mention that. This past weekend at an AutoX event I attended, there was a '68 Mini Cooper running on 13" wheels, using ATV road race tires. $15/each! Talk about cheap! And I didn't even know ATVs road raced.

OP i say go with 18x10 squared setup. Ive had 18s 19s and 20s on my car and the 18s are the best imo, just feels like a totally different car

 

[5.0_SD]

The 8K isn't just for wheels and tires...I would like one set of wheels/tires and the rest goes to BMR, cortex, etc lol. So it sounds like 18's would be the winner since I only want one set. Now the question, 18x10 or 18x10.5...remember the range I want is between 295 and 315....please elaborate some more with this in mind...thank you all.

I'd like to see pics of those with 18X10 square setups. I've been through the entire wheel and tire thread and, as I recall, there aren't many.

There is someone with a square 18x10 setup on forgestar f14. Can't remember his screen name.
