Tracklites, will they clear wilwood and Koni/GC setup
Sunday, May 13, 2007 9:33 AM

Looking at Motegi's site they have nothign listed for 17" tracklites, I was told they are made because a few people have put them on there J's. After hearing this I'm on the hunt for the proper size then I'm gonna try to find where to buy them.


I want 17" track lites, suspension is Koni yellows / ground controls, brakes will be Wilwood fronts, I need to clear the brakes and the suspension with as wide of a tire as possible without rubing. I'm gonna beat the @!#$ of the car so I need it to not rub when turning hard with body lean etc.. Any advise is apreciated.


I posted the same thing in wheel and tire forum but its not used often, and since the suspension and brakes are the main issue I'm posting it here as well.

Im running Trak Lites in 17X8 with 45mm offset and 225/45/17 Azeni 215s. I am also on the same suspension minus the brakes.

They are off Karos red Cavalier, He was running Wilwood front brakes also i believe.

im assuming your keeping the toyo fenders for whatever car your gonna be beating on... they are a huge plus for this setup...

only rub ive encountered is the pass side splash shield towards the top. no worries for me.

what color trak lites do you have planned?

i haven't seen much wider on a j. most people stick with 225's. you can always roll or flare your fenders

17x8s for both of us on 225/4/17 , you can run a 235 or 245 if you have the strut clearance

although you might get some rubbing at full lock either way on the steering

I have toyo fenders which will get rolled if need be for more clearance, but I don't want to spend the money for tires and hope they fit
