Bringing this thread back from the dead!
Next year I am thinking of bringing my track wheels & tires with me to my HPDE events. The normal track I go to (Mid Ohio) is just under 60 miles from me, so pretty close. I MAY try to do Nelson Ledges (~175 miles from me) or Pitt Race (~225 miles from...
Yeah, no this is good info too. I havent really been able to come back to this thread until today. So many different considerations and right now I'm only running Eibach springs today with really no other suspension mods today. Im also not on Magnaride either.
What I think I'm going to actually...
If I went 19x11, It looks like the LMR SVE R350 wheels I'd like to get are +50mm offset. If I went 19x11 with 305/30/19 all around (Including spacers and extended studs), you guys think I'll still be good to go? Any fitment issues you think I'll run into?
If I go 19x11 I'm thinking these wheel...
Yeah true. After track days I do switch back to just my street wheels and tires (Forgestar CF10 20s & Nitto tires), so was thinking the fronts may look odd if I move to extended studs much like you're talking about. I mayyy just go with 275 all around for this year then reassess...
So with what I've talked with you guys about in this tread (Which has been SUPER helpful by the way, you guys rock!). The cost breakdown is looking like this:
LMR SVE R350 Wheel kit (19x10)
$1,200
Falken RT660 (275/35/19)
$1,513
$2,713
Falken RT660 (305/30/19)
$1,679...
Oh nice! Ok, cool, so I would only need extended studs and spacers for the front. Good to know! This would also save some money so that I wouldnt have to get studs and spacers for all 4.
Yeah the square setup I want to do so I can rotate back and forth exactly what you're talking about
May be a stupid question, but since we're here I'll ask it haha. If I did go 19x11 with 305s, I would need to get extended studs on all 4 points right? Not just the front, I'm assuming all around right?
Yeahhh this is one of the reasons Im trying to line up what I want to do as well. Im hoping/planning for some sales and trying to jump on them if I can.
Yeah this does help. Essentially, If I'm going to go with the 19x10, I should do the 275 because "wider isn't always faster". Makes sense.
I've never fitted extended studs either (Thinking it was kindive a pain), but it does look pretty straight forward after watching CJ Pony Parts.
If I DID...
haha yeah I was curious if someone was going to bring up 18s as well. I've thought about this too and have been tempted to get Apex 18 inch wheels, but Im not sure I want to spend the extra $. I would although save money in tires if I went 18s... I may need to re-look at this again.
As for the...
Hey everyone!
Going to be getting new wheels and tires probably here in the next few months and wanted to see what you guys think. These will be my track wheels and tires. Looking to do HPDEs again next year anywhere from 5-7 times. Run group will either be Novice Solo or Intermediate. Car is...
I did check if it was loose and it was pretty tight. I have a service appointment at 4:30 today for an oil change, but I'm pretty sure the filter is just messed up at this point
Update!
Also, sorry not trying to hijack this thread, but just wanted to update because I think for me, it seems like a silly reason and would like you to confirm my theory.
I just went and jacked up the front end and look around a little better/more. I looked above, nothing. Under the car I...
You rock! Ok, let me take a look through some of these threads as well. I want to get back under it sometime today and take another look. It was tough getting under it, but I was able to tell it wasnt the oil filter and I havent had a recent oil change or anything like that and I couldnt really...
I literally ran into this same thing last night that appears like its from this exact location. I have oil all down my driver side underbody and it looks to be coming from here. I was able to check above this location and checked the oil filter and everything else looks to be ok?
"GT Pony"...
Really appreciate all the responses so far!
Luc - Yeah, I know I'm not really driving it hard enough yet at the moment as I'm still getting familiar with the car and just on the basic pretty much stock setup for this year. The oil temp gauge out of the 350 might be interesting to look into...
Hey everyone!
New member here (Although I've used the site as a lurker for while) and had some track related questions.
I recently bought my 2019 S550 GT PP1 back in Oct 2022 and have done just light mods so far (Eibach Pro Kit, Lund 91/93 & E85 tune, Wheels & tires, Corsa Exhaust, DOT4...
