Bringing track wheels to the track

[tosha]

Three in the back and one in the trunk. Removed the rear seat (completely) and the passenger seat which I used for jack, cooler,

luggage and spares. That was a 1 day rain and one day dry track event so had both dry and wet set. Not really that fun and I'm not sure I would do it again. Not really setting any records so next time I'd just pick a set and go with it. However, running street tires on track , when it's really raining, and everyone else is sliding around on track tires is pretty fun though.

What is the tire size? I don't see the 3rd wheel on the back, is it stacked behind the wheel that is behind driver seat?

Stock HP sizes, 305/30/19 and 315/30/19s. Two tires behind driver, I think the back one was laying flat and a 305 in the trunk. It worked but was a pain to remove and load, especially at the end of day one when they were all wet and forecast for the next day was dry, so swapped them out in the evening.

You can easily fit 2 305s and 1 285 side by side in the back seat, even with the seats in. A third 305 might be tight but I think it would be doable. The 4th 305 in the trunk is going to be the toughest. Really depends on what size tires you need to fit.

Just wondering, why do you need 4 305's AND one 285? What is the purpose of that last one?

My method is to put 2 tires on the back seats, one tire in the wheel well, and one more fits on top of that one with a lot of cursing. It worked for RS-4's. Doesn't work that well with cup2's that have rim protector.

@VictorH , if you get a set of those wheel covers like on picture above, loading/unloading the wheels will get 10 times easier. Those sticky rubber compounds are indeed very sticky

Oh I don’t, that was more a theoretical comment based on what you might bring. 285/305 combo is easy to fit. All 305s might be tough especially in the trunk.

Just push it thu from the cabin. I think.

Can be done with roll bar too...
(305/30/19 for reference)

Also, can confirm, three 305's will sit in the back seat with all seats still installed. I did that for many years before I got the roll bar.
