Enkei RPF-1 17x9, 45mm offset 5x114, 15 pounds |
WedsSport TC105N 18x9 +50 - 7.7 kg or 17 pounds
|
Not sure if these will fit, but the offset look about right:
Enkei RC5 18x9.0 +42 19.5 lbs http://www.enkei.com/jpeg%20files/Wheels/RC5(18)Ss.jpg |
Heavy, but I do love Enkeis:
Enkei RPM2 18x9.0 +35 21.1 lbs http://www.enkei.com/jpeg%20files/Wheels/RPM2_HBs.jpg |

refresh my memory... the rules for stx wheels are? (too lazy to re-check on scca)

max 265 tires |
dia and offset open?
|
Yes, in STX diameter and offset are open.
I got used set of 245/45R17 RE01R's for crazy cheap so I'm thinking about finding a cheap set of EVO VIII Enkei 6-spoke wheels to start (17x8, ET38, 67mm CB). They'll work well for track wheels once I get a real set of STX wheels. |

Will all these wheels clear the RX8 brakes?

Cline is fast, he'll be a good benchmark for me as I buildup the car.
More wheel options. Although quite expensive compared to some of the other options. BBS RGR (forged, 17.2 lbs) 17x9 ET42 http://www.tirerack.com/images/wheel..._bsp_ci3_l.jpg For 17" wheels I think that the $250, 16lb, 17x9 Enkei RPF1 is the way to go for STX. For 18's the Volk RE30 is the wheel I'd be dreaming of. Forged, 18x9 ET40, 17.5lbs and $796each. http://www.tirerack.com/images/wheel...grey_ci3_l.jpg Right now I'm also looking at the last of the 19.2lb Kosei K1TS 18x9 ET20 wheels from Tire Rack for $200 each. Not sure if they'll fit but it's a hell of a deal if they do. http://www.tirerack.com/images/wheel...s_lg_ci3_l.jpg Budget STX'ers can get the ASA AR1 18x9 (ET45 23.8lbs) $174 each. http://www.tirerack.com/images/wheel..._ar1_ci3_l.jpg |

ET20 is right. If they fit it would be nice but I'm not sure if they will. I know TeamRx8 ran 18x10.5 ET43 wheels and these 18x9 ET20 wheels will stick out the same amount as a 18x10.5 ET40. Tire profile when mounted and the 3mm difference is what I am worried about.

Unless there are 265/17's out there, the 18x9's are going to be the way to go.
Now finding them is hard. All sorts of 18x8.5 and 18x9.5's out there. Its like they made the required size 18x9 just to make it more difficult and expensive...I know they didn't....but.... Besides wheels, any thoughts on coilovers, sways, intakes, etc.? |

Here's what I ended up getting.
Weds Sport TC005 17X9 +42 15.8lbs They were on close out on tire rack for $240, normal price $370. I'm not sure if they are still there or not. |
Those are his 18x9.5 Enkei's the wheels I was talking about are the SSR Comp-H 18x10.5

Might be more like 23.5 pounds. Its a bit of surprise given that they look so much like the good ole SSR's. |
Speaking of STX wheels and tires. On sccaforums. Wheels and tires that should fit (may or may not need hub centers masaged).

One issue with 17s is I don't think they'll clear big brake kits on the market. This might be important for a STX build as BBKs are a good source of weight savings.
