Ray Gramlights 57xtremes Question
Hi All,
I am about to pull the pin on buying some 18x9.5 +40 57xtremes with some 235/40 achillies tyres on them. I am currently on 17" Enkei STI BRZ rims. Just wanted to know: Are these rims significantly heavier than stock/sti rims? What would the wider tyre be like at a track day in terms of handling and grip(my car is not FI)? What would the wider tyre be like as a daily in terms of handling and grip(my car is not FI)? Any info would be great cheers |

These rims have a natural lip to them meaning any tire under 255 will look VERY stretched on them. Just an FYI incase you don't want that look. I am running a 255 firehawk indy 500 on them currently and they are stretched a bit.
The rims aren't too heavy and are definitely usable on track, but imo I would stick with a 17x8.5/9 inch rim with a 235 or 245 width tire for track purposes. |
