Track Wheel Selection

Purplem3pursuit · 01-15-2012, 06:51 PM

I have been looking at some track wheels and am in the process of picking up a setup of 18x10 LTW5s... As I began thinking more closely about it, I am thinking these won't fit unless I have a 20mm spacer.. Anyone else running this setup that can confirm?

Otherwise I will probably go with an ARC8...

I run the Apex 18X10 with 275X35X18 BFG R1 and have no problem. Bolt on and go.

Right but the offset is my concern.. The ARC8 is a 25mm... The Dforce is a 43mm

IMO the Dforce offset is too high as I dont like to run spacers (especially a 20mm) for the track. 18x10 with 25mm is a good fit for our cars. TRMotorsports also offers a 25mm wheel if you are looking for options. Alot of people are running the Arc 8 on the track and are quite happy.

Agree. I do not use spacers of any type or kind.
