Hi Ryan

I would say,you will need wider wheels than 9.75X18 ET20 if you want have nice and wide look

My friend from over US have run Karlton arches on his blobeye and he run 285/40 tyres,carbon looks very good on the WR Blue Ryan at least,but painted too looks just great,have look over on Internet on them

Good luck Ryan,will looks awesome on yours

Thanks,Jura

Thanks fot the help jura. If I go to wide would it effect handling amd performance on the track?

Another vote to go wider than 9.5", you can squeeze that under standard arches with some camber.

Hi Ryan

Really depends,I know few guys over in US running 265/40 or 285/40 on their cars without the issue on the track(in US known as AutoX)

Yours car is track or drag car Ryan?

If its track then have look on the toffee,he building the car for WTAC and he will be using too bigger tyres,same as Damien on his TA Legacy

Have look on this

It will not affect handling,but can affect too,it really depends how car is setup'd and I would have look on the tubbed arches

Have look on this

285/40 R18 and 11Jx18



We run on our wagon 255/40 R17 with ET28 9JX17",they stick little bit more,but nothing serious


Thanks,Jura


Hi Ryan

Speak with Mags and then decide,you need take to account you will run camber for track and for track car,camber is usually higher than on normal cars
