Howdy all y'all.
Well, looks like I'm well on my way to being the #1 team.net poster for two
years in a row. ;^) WOOHOO!!!
Anyway, next year I plan to run STS in SCCA events and want to run 15x7"
wheels and 225/50-15 tires (most likely Yoko AVSIs) on all 4 corners so I
can rotate them to keep the wear somewhat even. But there's a catch. Stock
class Neon racers know all too well that 225 width R tires rub on the Neon's
rear lateral arms when mounted on factory sized and offset wheels.
So my question to all those with more knowledge than me is this: What
offset would I need on 15x7" wheels (most likely the Kosei Racing K1s from
the Tirerack) in order to be able to run the 225/50-15 tires on the back end
of my Neon without having them rub on the lateral arms and/or stick out past
the fender lip and violate the sacred SCCA rules? Spacers perhaps??
I'm not against running the 225 front/205 rear tire combo again but I'd like
to be able to rotate the tires to keep their wear fairly even.
Thanks in advance folks.
