SVE GT7 19x11 deal

[EFI]

I won't link to this item on E, but LMR is selling brand new 19x11 black GT7 wheels for $81 a pop. A full set of rotatable wheels for $324 and free shipping.

Just thought I'd let you guys know.

And satin graphite of the same size at $104 a piece. I already had two friends grab sets.

I'm on their website and I don't see any of these deals. What am I missing?

These are on ebay, probably selling old stock

Thank you. Anyone know if 19x11 50 offset will work without spacers?

 

[SVO MkII]

You will need a 25 mm spacer up front.

Think these are strong enough for track use?

The right spacer yes, I wouldn't run cheapo Autozone stuff there.

 

[SVO MkII]

The wheel? Yes. I would recommend getting the Ford Performance front hub kit with APR 3" studs, however, and use slip-on, hubcentric spacers.

OK. I just bought a set. Thanks for sharing this. I've been talking about wanting a set of dedicated track wheels for some time. The "boss" just gave me the green light last night. I waste no time!

See my update there though ^^^

I got it. Very familiar with spacers. I ran spacers on two Porsche track cars for about 15 years. And given the "heft" of the S550, I'll make sure I get it right. Thanks.

I'm soooo tempted, but I already have a 19x11 square setup for the track, and it's just not practical for regular road use.

Just curious, what size and type of tire are you running on the 19x11 square setup?

 

[SVO MkII]

305/30R19 RE71Rs. I do more autocross and tracksprint than HPDE though. I'd probably go with the same size on the Goodyear SC3 or Hankook R-S4 for HPDE.

Yeah, I was looking a the Goodyears. I may go a little smaller, 285/35. I'm hauling a little less weight with a lot less power.

Also it's honestly not worth the trouble of doing the work to make the 11" fit and not go 305s.

Hmmm, it is a tank. I have the Ford Performance Track Pack suspension with about -1.5/-2.0 camber f/r. Assuming the 1" spacers up front, any other mods necessary to run 305s?

 

[SVO MkII]

More front camber than that. Minimum -2.0, ideally -2.5 to -3.0. You'd want this anyway for grip and wear. You'll be burning up the front outside 1/4 of the tire with only -1.5.

Unfortunately, I think I'll need camber plates to get much more than what I have now. Dealer claimed it was almost impossible to get it to what I have now (which is what is recommended with the Track Pack kit). Since I just got all the suspension on this spring, I won't be tearing it all apart anytime soon to install camber plates. But probably someday.

The wheel? Yes. I would recommend getting the Ford Performance front hub kit with APR 3" studs, however, and use slip-on, hubcentric spacers.

The little lug nuts that the spacers get have very little socket engagement and then they can round off easily. Don't let this happen to you.

It look like I can get the longer ARP studs and install them in the stock front hubs, without removing the hubs.

true, but for the time and effort you could just source the Ford Performance replacement hubs with the ARP studs already installed... I picked up 5 of the bronze for $60 each.

That's what I just ordered. We'll see how much extra leverage I'll need to put on the breaker bar to get it off (251 lb-ft for that nut).

I guess that's the question; Is it easier to tap out/in 5 studs, or one axle nut @ 251 ft/lbs?
