DazS78 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Hi. What are the best sized wheels to run on a classic scooby for trackdays? I currently have the facelift 17's on but debating wether 16's would be better but i'm about to fit some newage 4 pot calipers also. Will 16's clear the calipers ok? Anybody selling any trackday tyres at all? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooby Pete Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 16's will not clear the 4 pot callipers, as for tyres when you say track day tyres do you mean things like toyo R888's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooby Pete Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 If you've got a 2nd set of rims great. If your considering road and track use I do some research. I've always considered them impractical for every day use as wet performance is always the biggest loss on these types of tyre. And wear would be a factor as they need to bet upto temp and are quite a soft compound. This site is a great source of info on tyres. They have most of the popular makes listed. http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyre/Toyo/R888.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DazS78 Posted July 25, 2014 Author Share Posted July 25, 2014 Hi Pete. I'm lucky enough to have my scooby as a second car as my everyday car is a company car so my scooby only gets used at weekends and will be going on track too so I don't mind having semi slick tyres fitted as I don't need to use it as an everyday car. I will have a look at the link as I've heard the federal rsr tyre is a good all rounder. Thanks again.
