17x7 and slicks 225/45 for autox?
Hi. I'm from Perú.
I have a wheel set just for autocross: Konig 17x7 but i don't know what tires pick. I only have 2 options: Federal 595 RS-RR 215/45/17 ($127 per tire) or Maxxis RC1 (slick tw 100) 225/45/17 ($140 per tire) Wich of this 2 will be better with the 7" rim? Thanks and greetings from Perú! |

I think a 225 rcomp on a 7" wheel is too big. I used to run a 225 on a 7.5" wheel and there were no issues with fitment. Also, not sure if an rcomp is a good choice for autocross. I used to run them on a shorter track that had only a few hard braking zones; it was difficult to get temperature into the tires early in my run.

I believe that you asked this questing somewhere else already. Anyhow, as Donutz said 215 will be better for 7" rim and Rcom tired probably won't get hot in autocross.
