I have always wondered where the crossroads were between tyre contact area and the pressure per unit area. Anotherwords, when is a tyre too big and when is it too small and the allied gem of the pros and cons of moving extra mass with increased rolling resistance versus the handling and braking gains for the trade off..hurts my head when I think about it.

I guess there are many tales when it comes to any race car set up, but I am working my car around the IGNIS cars, why? becouse, they probably stuffed around with alot of diffrent mods, and those cars then and still today are quite competitive. I have one set of wheels off one of the Ignis cars which are 15x9, so i am trying to get a set of wheels as close to the last Knock wheels that they used which where 16x10.

I read the Ignis car ran
wheels 9.0 x 16
Tyres   Dunlop SP Sport 240/590 R16

You wrote you have a set wheels which came off the Ignis 15 x 9's ?

What brakes will you be you running as you are limited with 15's?
