Need Racing Hart C-5 advice

I think I'll need to go 18x7.5 but maybe I can go 8" wide ? Anyone know the offset choices for these wheels? Seems to me that I will need a+49mm in a 7.5' width,and a +45mm in an 8" width to keep the centering right. Opinions, help please.What about tire choices to keep me at 25.5 rolling diamiter ?

hmm... well... why bother only going 7.5 inch wide.

Might as well get a decent width upgrade if your gonna get a wheel upgrade.

But... I dont know th eoffsets of thos ewheels

Actually +45 offset would keep the inside edge of 235 tire in the same place as your 215's.. putting the outside edge app. .8" outside of your 215's. hope this helps. I think I read somewhere that if you put a 235 on 7.5 the tire width is actually about 230
(for clearance purposes)?

go 7.5 but with sticky tires, youll save weight and your car will be quicker cause the tire is smaller. And as long as you get decent tires you'll stick like gum to braces
