I need some help.. Ive tried to tried to read and understand wheels, camber, offsets. just can't wrap my finger around it.. Mind fucks the shit out of me.

I DO have BC coilovers
I DO Race the car at the track. I don't want to be making huge adjustments from my road tires to my slicks.. If I don't have took.. again I'm a wheel/tire rookie.
-Pic of car at the bottom.. I took the BC coils out of the box and put them on. No adjustment "yet" to them, but I can.

Going cheap with the xxr527 (unless someone can recommend other wheels)

17x8.25 - 25 offset <- I'm guessing this one
17x8.25 - 35 offset <- or this one.. because of the 8.25?
or
17x9.75 - 25 offset

The tires I've picked.. For the Front is Nitto NT01

as for the size I'm not sure..

205/40ZR17 - 7.0-(7.5)-8.0
215/45ZR17 - (7.0)-8.0
225/45ZR17 - 7.0-(7.5)-8.5 <- This one
235/40ZR17 - 8.0-(8.5)-9.5 <- This one
245/45ZR17 - 7.5-(8.0)-9.0 <- Or this one?
255/40ZR17 - 8.5-(9.0)-10.0
275/40ZR17 - 9.0-(9.5)-11.0

As for the Back tires I am undecided on brand.. Some light weight, high tread wear, good speed rating.

Stow? EVO? any help? lol

By my writing.. It looks like I'm best set for the 17x8.25 with ?? offset. On 225 or 235 tires?

Thanks everyone for your help

Yeah Drag slicks.. Right now I have 235/60/15 on kosei k1s.. With a problem.. Ill post pic.

they don't fit it seems.. I don't mind raising the car up with the coil overs.. These are just set what default shipping sent me.

I do want to move to a full slick now that I've increased my hp by 1/3.

A few people are telling me to get the 35 offset and ive got a mix between a 225, 235, 245 for the nitto tire size...

I searched and found a few threads about a 15" wheel and BBK.. Scratch that... Thats not important as me getting the correct slick tire.

I will Thats what I figured about the kosei... Do you like the offset 35 with 245 with the car raised some? actully the 235/(40) seem a little better?

I wouldn't be surprised if the 17x8.25 with 35 offset rubbed on the CO. My 17x7.5 with 38 offset was very close to my BC CO perch after I got it aligned with -1.5* camber up front and 225/45 tires. Not saying it won't work but don't be surprised if it doesn't. If you go with a 25 offset, you're going to have quite a bit of poke coming out of the front. I don't think you're going to want to run anything more than a 245/40 tire.

Unfotunately, no one is going to be able to tell you for sure unless they have the exact same setup of wheel, offset, tire size, and CO.
