Gone for Silverstone Performance in a new shade of anthracite, i have gone a little bit leftfield, 17x9 35mm offset, with a view to running 235/40-17, and 18x10 40mm offset, looking to run 265/35-18, can go wider with 10's but will start there.

You can see the specs and sizes on this site - pro race 1.2. I was on the phone to the owner of Rimstock yesterday (some great stories re Matt Neal and Johnny Herbert!). The Silverstone ones without the writing look so much nicer than the standard pro race.
I have access to 'spider' blanks, not asked about the pro race 1.2 blanks. Apparently these are the worlds best selling after market wheel! So sadly no exclusivity :-(

If they rub the arches on the outside rear, just run loads of negative camber smile

Run 18's on mine with 255/35 on the rears.
They rub the arches badly under aggressive driving but the back of the car is quite low

I have got a set of these in the new Anthrcite finish and they look absolutely stunning! Just need to get some tyres on then I'll post up some pics.

Lovely and light too, can't wait!

I have this size on my spiders, but no rubbing, thats an 8.5" width though. I may have to do a bit of remodeling to the inner arches, with the 10's on.

I tun 265/35's on mine at the moment - allowing for the vagaries of Cerb bodywork, you'll definitely get rubbing on hevy bumps. I've never found it so severe that I need to grind the arches, although I am sure that would sort it once and for all.

Are you considering going much larger at some point? Or just for drag racing?! biggrin

Heres how the new wheels look, 18x10" rears, 265/35-18 federal RSR on the rear, because i had these kicking about, and 17x9" front with 235/40-17 888R's. The steering is miraculous now, combined with the bump steer kit, nothing budges it off line, i really cant believe how much better it is, i actually head for bumps to just keep proving it!!

I guess i would need a killer reaction time and hope you're left napping on the start line.
I should have a bit more grunt when its rebuilt but no where near the monster power you have.
