Not easy and very little to choose from. 18 inch seems the go with a larger range to pick from.If anyone has suggestions for 19 inch semi's then I'm all ears. The only one's I know of are RE01R and Toyo R888 in 235/245.Benny Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/60177-what-sizemags-are-best-for-racing-18/#findComment-914701 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 31/07/09 04:21 AM Author Share Posted 31/07/09 04:21 AM my topic is not on the rearety of tyres, its what is the best size to race wheels with? Or does it not matter, and its all to do with the tyres? So I can go race with 22" rimms with re 050a tyres and its all fine. I thought the diametre etc of the mag does make a difference, and if the mags are too big, it affects the performance / drive of the car Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/60177-what-sizemags-are-best-for-racing-18/#findComment-914708 Share on other sites More sharing options...

dule Donating Members 1,180 Member For: 18y 1m 30d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 31/07/09 05:58 AM Share Posted 31/07/09 05:58 AM I'd say 18's too especially if you're considering semi slicks or maybe 19's with street tyres. Watch the Top Gear video where they tested the supercharged Walkinshaw ClubSport, they gained 3 seconds per lap by ditching the 22s and going back to 20s. Would be interesting to see it with 19's too. So yeah bigger is not always better.
