undecided on wheel/tire combo 90% street, 10% track - Lateral-g Forums

I'm unsure as to whether to go with a practical as well as economical setup for a street/hpde combo, like the Billet Specialties Street Lite 17" 9.5 front 11" rear, wrapped in Nitto NT-01's/R888's, 275 front, 315 rear. Or whether to look at an 18" combo. Main concerns are performance, light weight, and keeping expenses down. Secondary is looks and bling.... the 17" wheels don't fill out the wheelwell like the larger diameter wheels, so any suggestions are appreciated ;-)

Seventeens just look to dated for me.

At a minimum--for performance and "Bling", I would start with 18's. There are plenty of deals out there if you can be patient and wait for the right moment to purchase.

315 / 35 / 17 are the same height as as 335 / 30 / 18.

Give me a call and we can discuss options.

BTW, your Fab 9 left today, will be there Thursday.

Lots of goodies!

I really like those wheels. I would also go with a 17" wheel. I like the look of sidewalls and not a rubberband.

Someone once said, "Go big or go home". I agree with most here that say 18 is MINIMUM. And I've seen some better prices on 18's than 17's. The law of supply and demand.

I gotta say though, 22's may be a little too much.
