[QUOTE="weendoggy, post: 1533458, member: 23340"] It's time for me to get track tires again. Currently run Nitto 01 255/40x17. No issues and plan to replace with same 01's. Thinking about going to 18's for the track. Saw add for Apex ET22 @ $1200/set. Suppose to be 9.5". Now I see LMR has Drift wheels @ $850/set, 9". Look awfully the same to me. Both are said to fit no problem. Going to tires, the 17" is 24.92 tall and 10.35 wide for the 255/40x17 on a 9" rim. If I change to 18", the size I can use is 275/35x18, 25.55 tall and 10.91 wide, based on 9.5" rim. I doubt the extra .5" is going to a problem. Question is: would I really see a lot of difference in handling for those who made a change to 18's? Not planning on changing brake setup (Cobra x 4) because that's working. I run 3.75° camber in front and have solid axle. [/QUOTE]
