What track wheels, 285/35/19 tires..?

I want a square 19x10 setup running 285/35/19 tires on my 1 inch lowered PP GT.
Track only wheels required with Pirelli Trofeo R’s
Look and style doesn’t sit top of my list..

Apex EC7’s..?
SVE R350’s..?
Others..?

I’d rather not go down the spacer or extended stud route.

What Offset clears everything with the tires selected.?

An advice would be most appreciated.
I have the PP wheels for street use with MPSS A/S 3.

After the wheels comes track camber settings..? I have the Steeda front camber plates and rear Toe Links ready to fit, but that’s another story.

SVE S350, R350 or GT7. Drifts will work too.

19x10.5 ET 35 fits, though a 5mm spacer up front is ideal.


19x10 ET 35 to 40 should fit with a 285 tires, as well.

as mentioned, 19x10 +35 or +40 should work (+35 gives you a little more clearance at the front shock).

I'm looking at the Apex SM-10 Group buy (on gangup.com) which is due to complete this fall, IDK if you can wait that long. I've got my eye on a set of 19x11s to run w/ spacers and extended studs.

If I were in a hurry I'd probably settle on that APEC EC-7 19x10 +40 and run a small 5mm spacer up front for a little extra clearance.

My street wheels are the N4SM Project6gr in 19x10+35, and they're holding up great. I've seen a bunch of the Project6gr wheels at the track (often on GT350s). The Project6gr, SVE R350, and Apex wheels are all flow formed barrels, so they should be similar strength. APEX is definitely the most proven track wheel of the three.

Thanks for your replies..

I had seen the group buy, but as I need wheels for VIR in August, the buy is a bit too late.

The SVE R350's are my wheel choice at the moment.
Not sure if I will need the 11 inch with 285 tire width. :shrug:

I guess with the 19 x 11's and 50mm offset, I will need extended studs and Spacers up front.?

I'm a bit partial to APEX wheels myself

Our 19x10" ET40 would be a perfect fit all around for your desired tires without the need to run a spacer. The 19x11" ET52 would need a 25mm spacer up front with extended studs. In the rear it is a direct fit, however I would stick with a 10" for the 285.

As an added bonus, we currently have the 19x10" and 19x11" on sale in the Race Silver finish! This car is rocking our 19x10" ET40 at all four corners with the same sized tire.



Let me know if you have any other questions.

Why don't you have any gloss black rims available?

Apex if the budget works (though they're quite reasonably priced for what they are). SVE if you need to mind it.

Gloss black wheels tend to stay gloss black for about 5 minutes. The Satin Black is the ideal finish for us because it still has some shine, but without all of the worries of constantly cleaning your wheels. As a wheel that was designed to be as durable as possible through the rigors of track use, gloss just didn't make sense. You could always gloss clear coat over them however.

R350 would be my choice. 19x10 +35 is an easy, bolt on square setup that is fine with 285 tires. 19x11 +50 might get a little more out if them, but probably not worth the extra cost and complication. I wouldn't bother unless running wider tires (which do not have the large number of options that the 285/35R19 has).

Clearance can be a little tight with +40 wheels with 285's that run a little wide, like NT-01s.

Tires have arrived..
Black R350’s on Monday..
TPMS Tuesday..

Thanks for all your advice. :cheers:

Now it’s time to fit all the camber and Toe links, get the tires fitted, alignment session and get myself off to the track.
