What size tire did you run on 18x8? What would you recommend for 18x8.5? I'm looking into Michelin PSS because it's a daily more than a track car, and we get a ton of rain down here.

Thanks for all your posts. I have learned SO much from reading your info. The RCE and CSG guys on here are BY FAR the best, most knowledgable posters on the site.
245 Michelin PSS on our 18x8 BBS CH-R. Great combo. You could go to a 255 with an 8.5 but you probably don't need to do that. Compound is more important than width and if you're new to the track you'll learn more if you don't have super wide sticky tires.

For the money a 17 inch wheel is the way to go. But....the BBS wheels were just too good looking and still pretty light.

Thanks for the kind words!
