Possible New Wheel/Tire Race Setup Advice Needed

[boardkat]

RPF1 won't clear the 6pot brakes, but the PF01 will. i've run an 18x10.5 +38 PF01 w/ 315/30R18 Hoosier A6 up front with a 5mm spacer without rub or caliper interference on my '15 GT PP.

18x11 CF5 will also clear, but requires a big offset differential front to rear (i use a 1.5" spacer up front w/ 315/30R18 Hoosier A7 and BFG Rival S so i can rotate)

Could you Elaborate on the details of your setup a little more? like offset?

My dilemma is between cf5 18x10 vs 11. I would very much like to be able to rotate but am also concerned with front poke. Not a fan of it. Another member with the 18x11 setup said it does indeed poke.

I want to run at minimum a 285 squared setup (would like to maybe run a 315 later on but not unless I start getting on the track more with the car) but will tolerate a little stagger if needed.

I was told by Touge Factory that the Advan RGIII 18x10 will clear for sure with the curved spoke design.

Not to hijack but would the Enkeis fit on a V6? I'm hoping they would with the smaller brakes. I like how they look on that S197. Thinking 17x9 +45 square or 18x9 +35 square with 255s. Still a noob so not sure.

I bought the GT PP wheels and tires second hand but may actually end up going with a different setup when I need new tires since these are so heavy and impossible to clean.

Go with 18's for sure. As for whether they'll fit, i don't think anybody's test fit them. I would find a place that has them in stock and test fit.

OP... take a look at Volk/Rays Gram Light series. they are flow formed and save a lot of money over Forged.

Found this website with a wheel configurator with the Enkeis.

I think they look pretty nice.

18x11 +56 - i have to run a 1.5" spacer to keep the tires off the strut bodies (315s are slightly overtired on an 11" wheel).
...but if you aren't running much camber (i'm close to -4.0) and/or on soft springs (i'm on 700lbs), it'll poke and/or rub i'd imagine.

18x10 w/ 285 and the correct offset (40ish) won't require a spacer nor will they poke.
