I'm looking to go to either Hoosier A6's or R6's. I'm probably going to do more Auto-x's than track days.
My dilemma is what to do about wheel and tire sizes.
I have a set of Ford Black LS wheels that are like the factory wheels 19/9.5F & 19/10R. I'm debating on whether to try and go square all the way around with 18 x 9's.
First are there any problems running 18x9's on the front and rear?
Also, is there really that much difference.
My first couple of auto-x's my main problems is getting the car to turn through tight corners. You either turn or plow and there is no intermediate.
The next problem which is mostly driver is rear being loose. Of course on some runs on sweeping corners I've been in a 4 wheel slide.
I think going to the Hoosiers going to help with some of my traction.
Also, I'm going to purchase the MM camberplates and try to adjust them to the max negative camber I can get.
My thinking is with the rear loose as is, staying with 9.5's on the front and 10's on the back would be a good thing. I can use the shock adjustments and air pressure to change traction if I need to. But I would appreciate feedback from anybody with experience.
Also, I'm have no reliable experience to go off of as to whether 18" wheels would be better than 19"s for what I'm doing.
My car is not driven on the road anymore so that does not need to be factored into the equation.
Thanks
