New LMR SVE SP2 Wheels (PP2 Replica)

[HeelToeHero]

I hear you but something about it looks pretty purposeful and mean to my eye.

It's not just the poke that bothers me. It's also the increased wheel gap by running a small diameter tire and keeping the same ride height.

That sounds familiar... somewhere along the line, I assumed that SVE had copied all dimensions but on that’s not true.

Has anyone run front spacers with the SP2s in an attempt to duplicate this look? I wonder how close it would look to the real deal.

If you can't find pp2 wheels but want pp2 sizing, check out the Ford performance wheels.

Thanks. I considered those but they’re way heavier and much more expensive than SP2s while looking nearly identical. I guess the stock backspace is available with those so that’s a plus for the FRP wheels IMO.

If you run the sp2 square 19x11 with 20-25mm slip-on spacers in front it will be very close to oem pp2. This is a popular setup, especially for track use.
You'll also need camber plates to get at least -2° camber and avoid any clearance issue.

Thanks!
Do you know if the SP2s have negative space between the lugs to allow the use of this type of spacer (below)? Seems easier and cleaner than pressing in longer studs...

I forgot what the backside of these wheels looks like and I’m too lazy to jack up the car and remove one to have a look...

Found an inside pic of some from the classifieds on here.

If you have Magneride, they won't fit. Wheels have pockets but not deep enough.

So non-Magneride folks can run these?

Can't guarantee 100% - you have to ask someone with non-MR car. Magneride hubs have sligtly longer studs that stick too far through the spacer and do not allow wheels (any really - not only SP2 but also OEM PP wheels) to lay flat on the spacer surface.

(btw- slip on spacers is a way to go).

Thanks again to all...

I suspected that the MR cars may have longer studs and it just occurred to me that I bought a set of take-off Brembos from Shelby and they came with the MR specific sheet metal bracket on the brake line...so it's plausible that I do have MR rotors/studs as well. Looks like I'll have to pull a wheel and measure after all.

So I’m pretty much done with trying to like the dark graphite finish on the SP2 with the Kona Blue paint. It’s not ugly but it’s also not attractive. At all.

I’m super particular about aesthetics. I realize that my own taste doesn’t necessarily look good to anyone else but for whatever reason, it has to look right to me or it will just bug me every time I look at It.

Has anyone had a power coat finish applied to painted wheels like this? What was the cost like? How did they come out?

I would think that any proper wheel refinishing shop would strip the wheels down to bare metal before applying the powder coat, and I don't think powder coat will stick to paint anyway, since it gets baked on.

hey guys
So i put mines on last weekend. the car feels funny. I have to install lowering springs and do an alignment soon.
When driving the car pulls to the left or right based on the road. This is on uneaven road and I think that the wheels are so wide that I may not be used to it. On the freeway it's fine. I am coming from 8 inch wheels to 10 inch. I was going to put on 1 inch spacers but the filled out the wells well so sold them.
Could it be that the wideness is causing this feeling? Seems like I can feel all the bumps on the road more now, lol
thanks

Sounds like Tramlining.

Yep, sounds like that. No way to avoid that right? Any others notice this also?
