First track day
Just had my first track day in the car at Brands hatch
![]() I am happy with the engine power but would like a little more grip in the dry. Running 185/60/14s at the moment has anyone had a improvement using different sizes of wheel 15inch etc and how wide can you go tyre wise |

Jazz,
15" did fine for me, 195/55/15 if I remember correctly. Tire brand choice can do miracles though. Greetz, Bastiaan "mux213" Olij Moved down under, no more hachi ![]() |

Sounds good I think if you go too wide with wheels the chassis would need seam welding to take the extra force.
What tyres are good for the dry I have falkens at the moment |

First track day
For trackdays I have 195/50-15 Toyo R888. They're cheap and pretty sticky

At front I use Toyota OEM rims 15"x7J with 195/50 Toyo Proxes R tires. When drifting, at the rear i usually use 14" wheels and tires. For grip driving, I think 195/50 R15 is ideal all around
