18x9.5 +15 F (235/40)

I want to build a DD that i can bring to autoX or a track for non competitive. Mostly for my personal enjoyment

Inputs?

For auto X you might want to check out that thread an see the tire sizes they run. Then decide what wheels would work best.

That's if you want a lot of rubber. you could to x9 +15 around with 245/35 or you could do that stagger with up to 295/30 in the rear

My opinion is that there are already many many many threads dedicated to wheel sizing and fitment and that we don't need people making any more.

Consider how much tires cost

Consider how you'll go through tires and/or rotate them (if you stagger, you're essentially losing the ability to rotate.)

Consider weight of the wheel

Consider fitment to the suspension and body and how much you'll need to camber, offset/space, extend studs, roll, or pull.

And for height (especially staggered height): Consider ride height, suspension adjustments for balance of the car weight

no this doesn't fit in there with those tire specs...

and as for auto x he should pick a class first then see what guys in that class are running...

OP go to nissanroadracing.com I bet you'll fit in better there, you seem like a nice guy.
