Curious about the square setup...wouldn't stagger been better for AutoX, i.e. help with turn in and such?

You guys are getting stuff I want!!!
Square improves turn-in and car rotation. You can aso rotate the tires for longer life. Staggared is probably best for street and track set ups.

You need to spend a little less on cameras and then you could join me and Mr. Badger. These are a great wheels. You can do staggarded or square.

Umm...square does not have better turn-in than staggered....on the contrary....you will hold you line better in a curve and on acceleration out of the curve...but turn in will be harder, especially when coupled with an LSD...
Anyway I have the money....I don't have these wheels yet because I have to wait until I take leave from Iraq....i don't want the wheels sitting in a relatives living room

staggered setup, 245s on front and 265s on rear, debating going to 275 year, but i think that might be excessive on this car.

I bought these wheels for my sapphire black 135 (or whatever the black was called) they have been carried over to my white 135. you can feel the weight savings just in the feel of the clutch and how smoothly you can drive it.

These are anthracite not black.

don't see why not, it's just a snapshot of the day, nobody said it had to be a shot from anyone you know I think people just assume that's the way it went.

If you look at the first few pages, there are some shots people definitely just found on the web and posted up.



As for your pictures, the SRT-8 under the hood looks neat.

I'm talking about turn-in under heavy trail-braking, ala AX. I can get on the brakes later and harder, in fact to take advantage of the setup, I have to. Your right, without braking assistance, turn-in will not be as crisp.

well, i think he's probably safe to make another 4-500hp before he needs to start worrying about strapping stuff down then.

still bloody crazy setup....
