Track Wheels 18s to 17s
This year I've been running Apex ARC8s 235s/255s with Hancook RS3s. This is my street/track setup. I am very happy with it. I have an extra set of 17" D Force LTW5s laying around from when I had my old E36 M3. I was thinking of going R compounds on them and running a squared 235/40/17 for dedicated track tires. I know I'll gain a bit of tread width up front, as R compounds run a little wider but I'll lose a bit in the rear. I was looking at Nitto Nt01s. I'm for the most part an intermediate driver but will run advanced sometimes depending on the track club. I think 235 is as wide as I can go with the 40mm offset of the LT5Ws. Any opinions on going to this? I'm not expecting world changing times, but 1 or 2 seconds a lap would be nice. Also I can properly rotate the squared set up and save my street tires the awkward wear after a track weekend. The plan is to still run the RS3s in colder or wet weather.
