Curious which rims would be ideal for Direzza Star Specs.

It's daily driven with occasional track days. It's boosted so I'm looking for more grip at the back but want to keep some stagger for manners.

235/40-17 or 245/40-17 up front? (Leaning to 245, closer to stock circumference.)

How would clearance on the control arm be with the 9x17 +63 up front running a stock alignment and ride height with those sizes?

265/40-17 at the rear (16mm taller than stock, is this a big deal?)

Would the 9" or 10" be better for the rears?

Love these wheels, just want to make sure before I hit that order button.

With 255/40's and a little extra camber. 10's in rear too.

Of course not.

Playing around with different setups this afternoon.

The higher offset versions are perfect for milder street camber. The lower offset versions work best with race camber (-3 ~ -4°).





I'll bring samples to Spring Mountain S2K Challenge for test fitting next weekend. If anybody wants to stop by the shop to check them out, come on down. Just give me a call or email before you do so we can make sure to be in.

They look like very good track wheels for me. I hope you'll still have stock in a couple of months!

Great visuals, that always helps - especially if you are from SC like me.

Is there a chance you could post a pic of with the following installed on the S together?

17x9 +63F
17x10 +72R

Not concerned with tire size.

Thanks
