Whether the OE fluid will be serviceable for you depends a bit on your skill level, your tires and the particular tracks: more speed, more grip, higher intensity braking will obviously put more stress on the fluid's capabilities. That said, the fluid is fine for several "average" track days...

Thanks for the info, Are you using an aftermarket lug nut, and, if so, which one?

The Forgestar CF5V (flow formed) is available around $1600-$1700, at 23 - 24 Lbs. per wheel in 19x11, OE offsets. There are about 2 other options in the under $3K world (one of which claims to be a fully "forged" wheel), both with OE or custom offsets available, and both around the same...

The CF5V looks like a helluva option for a flow formed wheel, under $2K setup. They're at the top of a very short list for me.

Nothing against any other manufacturer, but I'd be into a set of Apex wheels for the GT350 today if they were available. There's a thread or two about an Apex survey for s550 fitments, and some of us GT350 owners have requested GT350 fitment options. I recently responded to a question from...

Are there other options for an ARP or an ARP-quality level stud shorter than 3"? One of my reasons for starting this thread was to explore the option of running a spacer up front to allow for an identical offset setup to allow a full tire rotation option. But, I would prefer to swap out the...

Sorry if I missed it elsewhere, but do you have any load testing data on these wheels? Thanks.

One poster decided to jump in and dump without knowledge and experience; or so it seems. Running on track with a proper spacer setup is well established at the pro, club and track day level. As with anything under track stress conditions, heat cycling and other material fatigue, things can...

My thinking (no experience yet) is the OE R setup is 305 on an 11" rim. This is doesn't work for you? Thanks

Haven't seen (or looked for) and Enkei in the proper size or bolt pattern. Plenty of experience with Kosei and Apex at a similar price point. Very well made and durable wheels.

What tires are you running? I'm going to mount a set of PS2s to start.

A 25mm spacer seems to be necessary for a true square setup here. I admit that's a relatively thick spacer.

The CF5V is one of the wheels I've been looking at. Running the staggered setup is definitely a prime option, and simpler in many ways. Thanks for the input.

The question then is what spacer to run on the front to keep the wheel tucked in. The trick for us non-engineers to understand that the offset numbers and fitment run in reverse.

I didn't call you an idiot, but I did call you ignorant, and you still haven't shown that's wrong. This is exactly the kind of garbage that I was hoping to avoid, as I explained in my OP. But you just had to jump in. And now, we apparently can't get a 25mm adapter either. Strange considering...

Yep, the et50 is an option and may make the best sense for a true square setup.

I'm planning on running a 305/30 square setup, and sticking with 11". That's not written in stone and is one of the purposes of this thread. I do think that 11 up front is plenty of wheel and tire. Where did you source the R hubs? Can you let us know where you found the $925 pricing?

I didn't mean to suggest I would install 3" in the rear; just that I was planning to go studs all the way around.

Those are pretty straightforward numbers: 19x11 et55 is the consensus among the resident wheel merchants for a good rear fitment. 25mm spacer for mounting the et55 on the front. 3" studs necessary for the front fitment (I would convert all 4 corners to new studs in any case). All of these...

Don't let my annoyance suggest that standards for a proper wheel setup are not important. They certainly are. So we can all hopefully be on the same page, the type of spacer / adapter I am referring to--and the only kind I would ever use--is a hubcentric "pass through" adapter. Mounting studs...
