Tyre size for occasional track days.

Hi guys, interesting thread.

I'm looking to upgrade the stock wheels on my 2003 MX-5 and I like the Advanti Storm(15x8) and Enkei(perhaps 15x7) on Hankook RS4 195/50R15.

The reason for that is basically tyre size(and cost) as the Hankooks are not available at 205/45R16.

My car is stock and I drive it to the track. Only mechanical mod I've done so far is braided brake lines and brake pads. Wheels and tyres are my "Stage 2".

Would you recommend it?

Cheers

My Enkei 15*7+41 DO NOT fit over my 2002 NB8B front brakes.

That's new info to me, I saw somewhere that they would clear. I am looking at the 15x7 +35

But I want a Bronze one and apparently they're not available anymore...

In Australia as far as I understand it, we only got the NB8B with what the Yanks call "big brakes", maybe in other markets they got the NB8B with either "big brakes" or the smaller NB8A/NA8 brakes.
