hey guys

I was thinking of running these spec wheels on my DC2R but I don't know what tires width I should go? The car is used for track only. Occasionally a Sunday coffee run and that's it. It's not a daily and will be registered as a 2 seater car.

I have Tein super Flex as coil overs and SPC camber kits front and rear with hard race bushes throughout.

thanks

If it's a track only car, why are you leaning towards a 16x8 setup?
Tyre choice is limited in a 225/45R16. It's best to either move up to a 17, or get 15x8 as there's a few more tyres to choose from.

I also think 17inch the best choice.

No worries about caliper clearance incase for future upgrades.

15x8 is good for tyre sizes but looks a bit small.
