I want to move from 225/50R16 tires to 245/40R17 tires on our endurance race 745. Hankook recommends 8"-9.5" wheel width for the RS4s we run.
I currently have 8 Voxx MGA wheels that are 16x7 +20 5x108. I run a ring adapter for the centers. They rub a little on the sway bar and I have to run my 2.5" coil springs above the tire or it will also rub.
I don't really care about looks, just performance. We carry a full backup set of tires, so I am looking for 8 wheels. Junkyard OEM takeoffs would be fine, I just can't seem to find a lot of 17x8s or wider. BMWs have several 17x8s in 5x120 ~ET34-47. I have not seen any native 5x108 wheels in that size.
Just looking for others experience in finding inexpensive wheels in that size and how well spacer/adapters have held up to track abuse.
