b14 se-r wheels be good for road racing?

would b14 se-r wheels be good for road racing wheels, whats the ideal tire used on the b14 se-r wheel, considering i won't be using these wheels as a daily driver mostly for track use.


oh and btw it's for a b13


thanks

As long as the offset will not interfere, they are strong and a reasonable weight, you should be good to go.

se_nismo that would be fine.

kuhmo 712 are also good as well.

either use 205/50 /15 for a wider grip or a 195/55/15 tires

Kumho Ecsta Supra 712 are nowhere near the same league as Falken Azenis.

what about victoracer v700's?? the treadwear sucks, but the grip is awesome. i'm thinking of getting some konig heliums that only weigh 10.8lbs and use the v700's.

Though they may be DOT legal, V700's are certainly NOT a street tire. The R-compound will last you less than 5000 miles on the street. Plus, they are not very safe when treading water at high speeds.

Best overall tire for what? Daily driving? No. Ultimate grip? No. Best treadwear rating? No. Best performance to price ratio? Definetly.

agreed.
just make sure the offset on the B14 rims is close to that on the B13. I know they are a bit different but I forget exactly how different. Personally I think the Falken Azenis and V700's are the best way to go for AutoX. I used my Yok Parada Spec 2's this season. I owned in the rain (all I raced in), but the dry may be another story.

Most racers were using the Azenis or V700. Might be a good clue as to what is preferred.

17's will be too big for autocross. stay with the 15's and get some good rain/wet traction tires.
