i have the G2s and even with my 305s in the rear they leave a lot to be desired in terms of straight line traction. i still spin through 3rd gear on the street. at the strip i have to pedal it through 1st and 2nd bad. i'm just on an AED E85 tune, nothing crazy
the rear camber adjustment is a pain on these to the point where most shops just won't do it. i just bought this: https://www.steeda.com/rear-camber-adjustment-kit.html
Really? He went above and beyond IMO when I went to him for my E85 dyno tune. And provides good follow up support as well. Some people will always have problems with tuners. But either way he's widely regarded as one of the top tuners in the US. Anybody who lives close enough to AED, Lund or PBD...
Beith customer service is awesome as well. he is including all new buttons and new wiring harness for me with everything preinstalled for no extra charge. the extent of my interaction with the ebay seller after telling them about the fitment issues was "you must have installed it wrong, but go...
oh i drive it normal to work and back. hard to say how often i go WOT and redline, maybe a few times a week total. so yeah, not really severe duty here
Tinted my 3rd brake light, reverse light, and side markers. Then took some good pics of the car with the new wheels on. No more spacers, the fitment is perfect

Mounted my new wheels. SVR R355, 19x10 front 19x10 rear with 285/35 front and 305/35 rear. still gotta wash my car and get some better pics, but here's a pic i took right after
it was actually the euromotorsport one. fitment issues were with the plastic shrouding behind the buttons/wheel since the alcantara was way too thick and didn't line up well, even with some trimming. so nothing really mounted right and there are gaps all over the back. from the front you can't...
i'm extremely unhappy with the fitment of the ebay wheel i bought, so last night i placed an order for a custom Beith wheel with carbon fiber flat top and flat bottom, white stiching, dark gray alcantara grips, red center stripe. no more ebay wheels for me.
Reinstalled the Steeda STB with the new billet spacers they gave me. There still seem to be some fitment issues but so far it actually feels better than with the old delrin spacers that became deformed, in terms of steering and handling. I think I had a fair amount of play with the old spacers...
God the new hardware in the mail. Will be sending the old spacers back so they can look at them. Here is a picture of the new stuff next to the old stuff, so you can see how the delrin spacers are deformed
The new billet spacers obviously won't deform, and the new locking nuts they send seem...
yes, the AED knuckles were designed for this. i was looking at his new setup in his shop and they are massive tires going on the red car. your car looks awesome with this setup
what do you mean it's not 100% e85? your car will pick up a lot of power on e85 by the way but again, availability may be the deciding factor. i think even a lower ethanol % like 50 will get you a lot of power on a supercharged car. not to mention keep everything cooler and happier
CJ Pony parts has a pretty good deal on them. But it's the tire size they come with in their whee/tire package is not ideal for me and that weight really just kills it for me too. These SVE wheels are extremely light, even lighter than the Forgestar CF5s they copy. Plus, I was able to get them...
