no but when I tried opening them as a direct link and they work ... are you sure you're using the [img] tag correctly?

I tried a IMG tag using your picture and it works below

ok I see an [x] now ... this means there is a permissions issue on your smugmug pictures - are you sure you've set them up as 'public' ?

here's my situation:

I have APEX ARC-8 18x10 (x4) wheels sitting at home and was planning to order Nitto NT05 275/35/18 all around next week - and use this setup as my summer setup and occasional (3-4 times a year) track setup - so drive to the track and back and use this on the track.

Can folks who actually have this same setup (not speculation) confirm that there is (or isn't) DSC interference with this setup on the streets? and that there is no rubbing.

@leo95se - can you please confirm that you are still seeing DSC interference (without light coming on) on the streets?

re-quoting to bring the thread back to the main topic.

OP:

i have the exact same make and size of wheels, square set up. I also have tires sized 275/35 18 no rubbing. Not sure what your asking about DSC. DSC controls tire slip which is a product of tire grip ability, road conditions, engine input, etc. So theoretically wheel size and tire size can effect when and how much DCS intervenes. I generally have more grip running the square setup, so less DSC intervening. But as someone mentioned, you could have more DSC intervening in the rear on occasion because depending on the situation the square set up will dial out understeer or conversely, dial in a little oversteer.

No rubbing but cant speak to dsc because I'm not running the tire on the street. Ill test next week when I'm back at lime rock and drive around the area.
