Pulled the trigger--new wheels and tired ordered

jhill · 11-30-2014, 07:18 PM

After a few weeks and not much guidance or precedence finding a good wheel and tire setup optimized for track days and autoX, I finally ordered the Apex EC-7 wheels in anthracite and the BFGoodrich g-force Rival tires.

The wheels are19x9" ET35 front w/ 8 mm spacer and 19x9.5" ET43 rear. Tires are 255/40ZR-19 front and 285/35ZR-19 rear. After realizing I couldn't do a square setup without sacrificing some tire in the rear, this is where I wound up. I'm hoping it's a good upgrade (and it fits based on my calculations)!
