OK cool. I am getting a new alignment this weekend, I will use what you guys have said camber wise as guidelines for me. Also gonna try disconnecting my rear bar. RIght now I just have the stock 01 front bar (about the same as the stock CR bar) if somehow I get push when you guys didn't I can always stiffen my rear shocks

 

different strokes for different folks... also, I betcha tires come into play pretty heavily.

 

I can definitely say that the Dunlops are a hell of a lot more forgiving than the Bridgestones - they can maintain quite the slip angle without killing you - not quite to the extent that Toyo's can but still better than the Stones.

 

i believe i still have these wheels left

4 17x8 48 off set, ssr wheels that are 14lbs
5 17x9 55 off set, ssr wheels that are 15 lbs

i used these when i did nasa time trails for 2 years (2006 & 2007)
since then i have done scca club racing in the STO class and have the stop tech big brake 355mm set-up. i now run the ccw 18x10 & 18x11

That's 8mm less offset than my Volks and I suspect you'd be chewing up some fenders pretty fierce with that.

I've only had to roll my driver front fender. I hit a bump on a course and the tire grabbed that upper/center fender liner tab and pulled it pretty hard. I messed up my fender pretty good but after some banging about, I got it sorta straight. After that I rolled it all flat. I can't believe my passenger front doesn't rub badly.

 

They may not be the best offset, I don't rub yet but I'm higher than Nick is, so ask him about his experience.

However, you could have these wheels in a week, vs getting lucky on used volks and they will cost less, or putting an order in and waiting on the slow boat from JP.

 

You would be better off using four OEM 8.5" rears or the TR Motorsport wheels. The TR wheels are pretty nice as I have seen a set on a local car. Unless you are contenting for the number one national spot the weight difference will be in the noise.

 

Do you really think that 4lbs a wheel will make that much differnence? The times that one would get with say the TR Motorsports wheels vs Volk re30's could be said that it was line choice or braking/acceleration points. I think its hard to say that wheels are going to make the difference between the top 10 spots.

 

I looked at pics of Dave's car with the +55 wheels on them - even though his car is higher at rest than mine - it ultimately has similar peak roll and he doesn't rub, so I felt comfortable with buying the +55's and running them on my car. We'll find out for sure in a week in Peru. I haven't put them on the car yet.
