I have started adding a bit of an index to the second post on the first page, so if you are looking for information on a particular width and offset on your car take a look there first. Also take a look at THIS thread.

I've edited it with details of my car... and my many rims.
If any members have a link to a particular post they feel should be added to the list, send either Tom or myself a PM and we'll add it to the list.

Been pondering 245/40/18 tyres with 18x8.5 +30 wheels. Lowered to around 1.5 finger gap at the front and 0.5 finger gap at the back as well as rear guards rolled. Planning to lower the front a bit more to 0.5 finger gap. Also have front camber bolts and rear camber kit
I'm fairly confident it'll fit alright, but just thought I'd ask for other opinions (:

Ah crap, I must've punched in the wrong numbers into the tyre diameter calculator >_> thought the rolling diameter on 245/40/18 was reasonably close to stock. I'm looking to get the wheels sitting outwards a tad bit more, so 235 or 245 is what I'm looking to stick with. Kind hard to find wheels in those sizes that'll have a reasonably close diameter to stock...
Aside from having your speedo out (which I assume could be re-calibrated?), would having a tyre that's around 20mm+ larger than stock have any negative consequences?

Hey guys,
I got a set of RPF1's coming in that are 17X9 +35 offset. What will it take for me to fit these on my DC5R. I'm also looking to find out what size tires would suit these wheels that will be used strictly for track. (semi slicks)
At the moment, my alignment settings are
Front: -3 camber
Rear: -2 camber
The tires will be strictly for track use so they will be semi slicks and I don't care about the rolling diameter.
I'm guessing because its for track use, I would want the widest tire that I can fit on the wheels and a pretty low profile. I think I would need a rear spacer to clear the trailing arm as well and maybe roll the rear guards a bit?
Any opinions would be appreciated, thanks.

I would use a 245/40 or 255/40 tyre, with the 245/40 being my preference. After running a fair few wheels and tyres I prefer when the tyre is a bit on the narrow side for the wheel, it probably gives up some peak grip but response is much better. The shorter sidewall is ever so slightly better for gearing and ride height also.
Just pick whichever is available in the tyre you want, either will fit with no problem.
