Thanks, not sure what you mean. Do you mean that I wouldn't notice wider track until I get a lot better on track and at that point I'd know enough about if and how I wanted to change it? Or, are you saying it doesn't matter anyway?

For wider track I was talking about the 25mm spacers I have installed (not wider wheels). I assumed that this would put the inside of the wheels farther apart thereby creating a wider track.

I've put in 25mm spaces with my 18x7.5" +46 wheels for the flush look but was wondering if I'd notice any difference at my next track day.

My second question was about 9" wide wheels rather than 7.5" wheels (not track width). I am more asking about if I'd notice the extra resistance of wider wheels and/or whether the extra grip would be detrimental given I am a very amateur track driver ?
