I am wanting to replace my wheels and tyres on my car but am unsure what size to go. I am looking at getting OZ superleggera that are lighter than stock but depending on the width of the rim and tyre they may end up heavier than stock. Also will be going with Toyo Proxes tyres.
The car will be used for every day use but will have the Cosworth in the next month or so.
I was looking to stick with 17" or maybe go up to 18"?
Can anyone help me get the perfect balance between handling, weight, steering and looks.
Should I be running 7" rims like standard, 7.5" rims with 215 8" rims with 225 etc etc? Where is the best middle ground?
Also the ET will be 45 or 48 so just want to make sure they don't catch when on full lock or on the outside arches.
Sorry that this is a question no doubt asked before.
Mark.
Best Allrounder Size
I thought the superleggera was being discontinued....I went with the ultraleggera, while no lighter than stock at 17 lbs, is 1" wider giving me the ability to run 235's which fit perfect on an 8" rim.
Brian has some really awesome choices such as the rp-f1 and the rsm which might suit your needs even better.

My car is lowered 40mm with a ride height of 335mm (13.2") front and 345mm (13.6") rear. Heights taken from the center of the wheel to the fender. I have had no rubbing issues and not rolled the fenders. I was running standard camber with no issues but now running slightly more camber so not ever likely to see any rubbing.
