got my track tires today - 265/35/18 and 285/30/18 :-) pics inside
Just thought I share my excitement about having received my track tires and rims today. Thanks to Ben from Tirerack who was very helpful
I decided to go with the TR Motorsports rims in 18", they are very lightweight and where reasonably priced. The setup is BFGoodrich gForce R1's 265/35/18 in the front and 285/30/18 in the back. I can't wait to mount them and track the car here are the pics:

yeah that's what I am hoping for - as for the body roll: I don't think that I will have a lot, despite my stock suspension :-) and I won't even switch the EDC to sport.

I am jealous. I'm planning on using my OEM 18"s for my racing rubber.

you can certainly do that - I just didn't want to deal with remounting the tires onto my street rims

Are you running 9.5 in front? Did the Tirerack guys tell you the 10s wouldn't fit or did you want to run the staggered set-up (my choice for the track)?

Nice! I got similar setup, I went with the staggered stock sizes, 245 up front 265 rear, same tire BFG R1s, I bought the tires off Craigslist, rims from tire rack, total was $515 for rims, $460 for tires, $80 for mounting.
I'm headin to California speedway end of Sept with this setup, can't wait to try em out!

Rupert right? I think we met at the Milbrae meet the other weekend.
The track setup looks slick! Hope to get out there and race around with you when I get my 135. |
