02 LS want 15" rims

Post by Tingles »

I am looking at putting 15" racing rims and tires on for track days and autocross. My question is: Will 15" rims fit over the 02 LS bigger brakes?
Recommendation for both please. I run about 10-15 autocross events a year and 2 track events. I will sacrifice autocross performance for track longenvity.

Yes, ALL of the 15x7s we sell fit your brakes with ONE exception. The ENKEI RP-F1 will NOT fit your brakes in 15x7.

Thank you Brian. Can you give me any advice on tires for my situation. It has been suggested that I use the Kumho Ecsta V70 by one of the guys at Vilven Tire.

Given your statement that you will give up some autocross speed for longevity and track performance my suggestion is TOYO RA1. Not the fastest R compound for autocross but a great track tire and will last the season without problem.
