Possible New Wheel/Tire Race Setup Advice Needed

[K3NMasterS]

So I'm getting a little bit more serious about racing my GT with Performance Pack and am starting to look into a smaller wheel. I have read that the Enkei RPF1 in 18x10 will clear my 15" Brembos upfront. I'm planning on running a square setup with 285/xx/19 and am just working out the details.

Any advice?

I'm also going to end up selling my 2mo old 19" Forgestar CF5 as well.

you can easily do a 285/35/18 or 295/35/18 tire

Do you know if the RPF1 will clear the PP Brembos?

I am not certain I just test fitted a set of Volk TE37Sl wheels 3 weeks ago and confirmed they clear, been wanting to do the same with the RPF1 wheels also just havent had time to do it.

I'd love to get a set of TE37, but they're just too expensive.. I know you gotta pay to play, but I'm really only planning on running these at the track and +$2,100 wheels without tires is more than I really want to spend at the moment..:frusty:

I mean $2,000 compared to the what I spent on the 19" BBS LM for the M3 sounds like a steal, but that was before when I was reckless! LOL

Maybe I should just roll on the Forgestars for the remainder of the season on concentrate on a set of 18x10 TE come spring. :shrug:

lol well I have a sale on BBS free shipping this month ironically and your mentioning LMS which are one of my faviorite wheels from them next to their FI wheels ( if only right).

I mean I would do the following rock the Forgestars you just got them 2 mnths ago and enjoy them, while doing that save up and grab a race setup 18" nexth season

FYI just did a 18x10 CF5 setup on ShawnOs GT PP and he paired it with 295/35/18 R888 for his rack regulations and its mean and affordable.

No arguing...the RPF1 is a good wheel. I know you stated the TE37 is out of your price range for your track set, but for what its worth our FF15 is right inline with Ray's on the quality/strength/weight front and they can be had for around $608 a wheel. 21 lbs for the 18x10 et40.

Here she is on our 380mm 6POT Brembo display.

Fitment on those looks pretty spot on. Might have to take a harder look at these when I burn through these stock tires.

18x10 RPF1 would not clear S197 Brembo's, which were a 4 pot 14" rotor. Chances of them clearing a 6 pot 15" rotor? Slim to none.

The Enkei's are an incredible value. Proven quality @ a very reasonable price. Too bad they don't fit for you.

Nothing wrong with the forgestars you already have though.
