Wheels for track day suggestions?
Rather than have to deal with the swapping tires out - has anyone come across some affordable wheels for track days ( I'm not opposed to flogging TE37s but consumables add up )? What's the lowest offset one could run within reason ( e.g. +32 on the front )?
Center-bore aside, it looks like wheels for the Mustang ( 2015+ ) fit our cars - e.g. Apex wheels https://www.apexraceparts.com/wheels...eel_diameter=6
Forgestars I know fit the bill.
Are 18s possible, esp in the front? The reason why I ask is https://cortexracing.com/product/enk...18-x-9-5-45mm/ they highlight that spacers are needed to clear 15" Brembo's on the GT500 ( and 18s have far better tire options )
Cheers

I really doubt you'll get 18's on this car. IS F, sure, but the brakes on the GS F are really big. Sucks rocks too, because 19" tires are definitely more expensive than 18" tires.

I was thinking that was going to be the case. I've also had half debated upsizing to 20" for the tires.

At 20" you'd better be prepared to feel the weight loss in your wallet. Large diameter is always more expensive for performance tires.

Bumping this thread, decide on a track set? Pondering the same question...
1- Get a new set for track (19s), keep OEM for street
2- Get a new set for street (20s prob), OEM for track
3- Get a new set for street+track (19s prob) and sell/store OEM
