whats best to run . on track for a corsa

lightweight 15s like pro race 1.2s with 195 45 15s on toyo t1r or r888 or yoko a048

or some vauxhall 14" wheels , maybe tear drops , with the equivilant type tires.

does it matter about the side wall profile, like which size is best ect ??

who runs what ??

i'd say the 15's as they are most likely going to be much wider

Id go for 15's can run a bit of a wider tyre then like the 195's

Also you can get bigger brakes behind them and they will cool better


Pro races are nice but to be honest if your starting out and they are just spare wheels just some kind of OEM's will do


For track its got to be the 888's as the Tr1's will just get too hot too quick. From using both on my VTS the difference is massive.

888's only come in 50 profile so thats the one to go for

15's wih either r888's or Ao48's.

14" wheels are pointless, not wide enough and you cant get big brakes behind them.
