I am currently running 225/35/17 on my evo wheels. The car is lowered and has evo brembos on it. I am looking for rim recommendations. Not so much on how light they are but wheel/offset to clear my brembo brakes. The tires are Falken azenis. They were good with my 20g at the track but now I need something stickier. I want to be able to run in the street class and want the stickiest I can get. I do drive a hour to the track. I believe my evo rims are 17x7.
I am concerned with tire fitment if I go with a 17x8 rim. Then would 235/45 fit with a lowered car? I believe in the rear the tire would hit the upper arm. In the front I am more worried about brake clearance. I believe most rims with a 40 offset would clear without much issue. I know it depends on spoke style. The tires I am considering is Toyo r888. I am ok with getting hoosier dot and swap them at the track if I have to. For rims, I would like to stay under 800 for a set. Looking at Drag dr31, Avid wheels, XXR wheels. I know there mostly low end but want some ideas and thoughts.
I know there is many threads on rims and brembos but the info is pretty cluttered up without much results in the thread. There is a small amount of people that actually have brembos, lowered and need a sticky tire. Im hoping I can have pictures and models here.
