Varies. Have done 70k over 5 years. Two sets of tires in that time. Not all of it on the camber spec’s though.

The new falken RT660 seems like a good option. Gives similar performance to the RE71 but doesn't have the wear issues.

I which got shared into a a CMP related FB group chat.

I have 17x7.5 stock wheel but wondering if I should go bigger/wider for better traction.



Thanks.

to answer your question plainly, the best wheel size for grip is 17x9. thats what all the trackies run.

theres so much more that goes into finding the right setup for your driving. this is such a vague question, but to answer plainly: 17x9 is what trackies use, and 18x8 is what street people use, a little bigger, some say 18 looks better etc. but they dont need the grip on street so narrower is fine.

most wheels come in 17x9 and 18x8 applications for this car. 18x9.5 is stupid, dont get wheels that big

I talked to a guy running the RT660 on an S2K. He was primarily an AutoX guy but he said the 660's were not on the level of the RE71R by a decent margin to him. Much faster then an RS4 though.
