Autoxing rims size?

[phillycheese917]

Can you autocross with 225/40/18? I am just looking to try autoxing out and if I like it I will keep doing it.

It does not specify what size, so I would think you can. I would not go with anything bigger than 16's, personal preference.

Oh ok Then I guess when I get 18" rims I will just keep my 16" stock rims and get good autocrossing tires for them and when I go to autocross I can just pop them on. What type of tire is good for autoxing. I am guessing a soft one. Also what type of tread. I dont really know much about tires. I just know there are ones with very few patterns on them and ones with a lot. lol Any body have any suggestions. Thanks

For stock wheels, these:

They don't cost much and they stick.

You can change them ahead of time and drive out on them too.
