Hey guys,
I need some advice. I am going to start doing some track days for fun, maybe the NSW Super Sprint series next year. I have a set of 16" wheels which would be suitable to use, but I'd be restricted to a 225/45 or 225/50 r16 tyre size.
Is this a disadvantage at all compared to using a 235/45r17 tyre? This would mean I would need to buy new wheels as well as tyres.
The 16" tyres are generally a little bit cheaper too, in Kumho V70A or similar as discussed in this thread.
Is it OK to stick with my 16" wheels and buy some tyres, or am I better moving to a 17" and bigger tyre from the start? Thanks very much.
Edit: Car is S14 Silvia with stock engine/power. At best I will have coilovers, that's about all.
