Here you go.

I started out exploring 16's, and then started realised 15's would fit.
That 15" is a 4 stud off my ae86, but I've since found a 5x100 watanabe 15x6 + 35 fits, but needs a 25mm spacer.
I'm looking to use a 15x8 +10. Which sits inside the bodyline just. Any further in and it fouls on the tie rod end ball joint. Bloody hard finding a 15x8 in 5x100. And I'm not keen on getting custom ones made unless I know they'll definitely fit.
While my 86 was on the hoist today, and armed with some more difuser knowledge, I had a closer look at things. One thing my mate pointed out (who will be doing my fab work) is that my diff, subframe, and even the lower control arms are all higher than the floor; even while the suspension is fully unloaded on the hoist. So will mean a super smooth path and entry to the diffuser.
This subframe and diff are all raised as high as they can go. This will all end up in the race car. The exhaust on this car is 3", the race car will have a 2.5" But Simon pointed out that he'll only need to notch the subframe about 5mm for the smaller exhaust to be higher than the floor and diffuser.
But he's more of a fan of side exiting the exhaust.
So this is looking quite promising.
