I've got stock uncut roll hoops and rear plastics sitting in my shed. If you were local I'd just give them to you.

Fenders Rolled

check your fenders and liners.

While it's not considered a lot of work to get these wheels to fit from a real-world usable standpoint, it is when you start looking at what is considered an "STR-legal" fender with a "roll". There aren't very many people running those wheels in STR for that reason. If they fit, you can bet a whole lot more people would be running them for STR since the price is right, and they're super light.

STR offsets for a 17x9 wheel are more reasonably in the +55 to +63 range.

They fit just fine; zero rubbing by some kind of magic. So you're saying my fenders might be rolled too much? It is indeed very tight in there.

They should just let us do whatever we want after this happened last year:

It's finally worked its way to the SEB agenda, and so there should be a bulletin in Fastrack about it soon. Hopefully that will provide some clarify on exactly what's allowed. I've got some unofficial early info that these installs will be possible, but I don't know exactly what will need to be retained.

Awesome news. I look forward to hearing about that.

I need everything rear of the seats. The plastics w/ the back pieces w/ hooks, side pieces, etc etc. Basically everything. Seats forward everything is there.

OR I guess the other option is to just go to street prepared and run Hoosiers LOL

Technically not having the plastics bumps you all the way into SSM like me if you read the rules strictly. Nothing is allowed unless it is explicitly written. Hopefully Nate above gets some more clarification. I wish they could allow for this with a car that is essentially falling within the spirit of the rules of the class. Plastics are plastics and other than a slight weight advantage, if somebody wants to remove them (especially for safety equipment) why not just let them and penalize them? For me, I'd happily take a 100 lb ballast hit due to not having plastics or softtop and non OE hardtop, which when you account for ballast for no softtop is really just ballast itself, just so I could run in STR. Everything else for me certainly falls within STR, and given that at the last local event I was over 1.5 seconds ahead of the STR winner...I know that even 200 lbs is not even close to 1.5 seconds on a 50 second course.

Totally agree. I think locally they will let it fly....this is Detroit after all. Dominated by Miatas, Camaros and Corvettes.

Yes. I would check the possible legality of your roll. Chances are, it shouldn't be a problem, until you start winning...

Lol well im usually in GM products so this will be my first time in a lightweight roadster.....I'm sure it will be a little brutal to start. I haven't AutoX'd in years either....all open track days/work.
