So I'm in the middle of wrapping my car teal and realized my wheels look horrible on my car now, so I need to get some new ones. I'm currently torn between three wheels, and have no idea which size/offset combo will look the best which them. Any input on the options below would be awesome!


WedsSport TC105N
17x9 +25
17x9 +35 [3mm front spacers required]
17x9.5 +33
18x9.5 +35

Gram Lights 57Transcend
17x9.5 +25
18x9.5 +35

Advan RSII
18x9 +25

I will also be purchasing them in a Graphite or Gunmetal if available, and if not they will be powdercoated.

EDIT: These wheels will also mostly be used on the street/shows with a bit of drag racing, but I have Hoosiers I use for racing the majority of the time.

18x9.5 +35 with a 265/35r18 looks the best on the CT9A for a street car IMO. Will require rolling the rear fender, but it's well worth it.

Id probably go with a 255/35 on an 18. Is there a big difference between Gram Lights, WedsSports, or Advans?

I've been thinking the Tc105n for a track rim. What size would be best? And my fenders are rolled

I'm partial to the weds . I wanted to keep weight,cost and tire size down since I have a 4.11 Final drive. I went with a 17 x9 et35 .There are a lot of options for a lightweight ,sticky 255-40-17 . Keeping rotational weight down is easier on the drivetrain.

Now , if you car makes good power you can go with a 18" 255-40-18 for a taller tire to lengthen the gearing on your car.

You can also exceed the traction limit of the stock oiling system on a well setup 245 or 255 tire . An oil pan and hla help with the oil issues but going to an even wider tire can make things worse if you are really driving it hard.

I wouldn't. The 265 means the business. 255/35 is too short of sidewall. Doesn't look good IMO.

Which oil pan works best? I've seen too many mixed reviews

Perplex

What would you recommend as a full setup? Im making 750-780 to the wheels and have hoosiers for the track. This would just be used on the streets.

I'd go with the wedsport tc105n. Most agressive/track looking wheel imo. I would probably go with 17x9.5 +33 to get more tire over the 18s

Balrok in the motorsports area has tested the oil pan out of new zealand . He's monitored oil pressure on slicks and has driven his car hard on the roadcourse.

That pan should also have less chance of leaking over the ams since it retains the stock mounting surface.

I love my TC105N's however they are expensive, and if you are going to track your car, expect that you will **** up a rim. When that happens you are looking at an expensive fix.


If I could do it over, I would got 17x10 RPF1's on NT01's 275.




I am on 17x9 +35, but running stoptechs in the front so no spacer is required. I also have the evo x LCA and with 3.2* of camber up front they are tucked in really nice. I might buy a 17x10 just to see if the brakes will clear.
