Wheel sizes

[ADM06]

What is the widest size wheel and tyre combo I could fit to each axle, and the appropriate offset?

Well I could manage 255`s on the rear but it caught on one side ,to close for comfort.It`s not just the inner arch the tyres can catch the outrigger.

I`m not on my own alot of the bodies do not sit square , owners have trouble with the rear nearside inner arch and outrigger

I have just done a complete track day with no catching anywhere.

SP 12s, Toyo 888s
Front 215/45/17
Rear 235/40/18

That worked, I have heard of people using 225 and 245 tyres on those wheels. The above are what we're on the wheels when I got them.

I did use to have issues with the rears catching on the left wheel arch. Solved by checking and adjusting the rear ride height to the correct 155mm measured from the concrete drive to the rear outrigger triangle

What wheel sizes and offsets were those tyres on?
Oh and what are standard wheel size and offsets?

17 inch fronts, 18 inch rears. Not sure of the offset. The wheels are still on the car, so will check to see if marked when I take them off. Lost the will to jack after 187 miles on the track......
I think the normal offset is about 38 for a Chimeara, but I will check on Friday.

Not to worried about catching the inner arch but it did not feel good when the tyre caught the near side outrigger .

Ok one side not the other,even the outriggers are not square.

I have 17 on mine. 205/40 on the front and 225/45 on the rear. Giving it an aggressive stance. Any bigger on the front and it cuts into the fibreglass on full lock

10" " rear

235/40/17" F
255?40?17" R

Inside lip of rear arches needed thinning internally.
