Thread for 18 inch wheels or less, post them up.

[VIN666]

Really curious to see how these fit.
Et seems too high to be flush and i would be concered about rubbing at full turn in on the front. But that's just an assumption of course.

ET?

Tire Size is going to be 295 Hoosier R7 Slicks

Square, indeed. ;)

What is the application for the tires? Track/strip only, or street also?

I have tried Toyo R888 and Toyo TQ on my other car, but they seem to heat cycle out really quickly, and not really hold down any power after a week or two of daily driving.

For my 2015, I want to get some 18x11's and set my baseline camber between about -0.25 or -0.50... and put on the tallest widest stickiest tires that will fit. I know I am not going to find a combo that 60's a 1.5 on the street, but I want to do the best that I realistically can.

I have the foundry wheels on my V6 and I think there's really no reason to go larger than 18 in for wheels. Of course people will disagree but I'm glad there's a thread for these wheels so we can see them on real cars and not photos from TireRack lol

My foundry wheels:

what size wheel/tires?

Here are the premium 18 inch stockers lowered on Eibach Pro Kit, they're saying bye bye today though.

these arent premium wheels...i have them on my base...

Changing the stock tires right now. Thought I should memorialize what it looked like with the 235/50-18's with the pirelli stockers, on Eibach Sportline springs.

This is it with the 19x9.5 SVE's with 295/35-19 Hoosiers.

May i ask how much does it cost you for the whole set tire + wheel if you don't mind ? Thanks.

The SVE's were only around $700 from late model restoration, if you can even see them. It doesn't look like my phone can cut and.paste from picasa.***fixed***

It sits very nice. We made this fitment specifically for the hardcore track guys and race teams. It does need either Cortex Coil overs up front (or similar) that relocate inboard farther, or longer studs and an approx 12mm spacer. Again, this is in reference for the front. the rear is plug and play.

Here are a couple pics to show the rear fitment. This is with a 295/40 18 Nitto...

So 18x10.5 et 36 would fit all the way around, but be tucked more in the back?

What are your thoughts on 275 40 17 on 17x10.5 et 28?
It might be tight. I ran a bunch of comparisons and math on them and your setup with the mentioned spacers for the front is PRETTY close to the same fit to the sheet metal.

Based on the pics above, it looks like my 17" solution might work too, although it would be tight like a virgin. LOL

No just the opposite. A 10.5" et36 would be VERY aggressive on the 15 GT. It would poke outboard 12mm more than the 10.5" et48, putting it past the fender. With that aggressive of an offset (et36) you would need to stretch probably a 275 or less and get it to -2 degrees of camber or more.

On the 17" specs you give I already answered it with the explanation of the et36. An et28 on a 10.5...forget it. You are thinking in the reverse. The lower the et number the farther the wheel pushes outboard (all things equal). A 9" or 9.5" wide wheel would be fine front and rear with an et of 28, NOT a 10.5".

I'm curious - have you guys tried a 18x11 square setup to see if there's anyway to make it work, stock, on a GTPP?

I'm pondering coilovers - but if I could do a square setup...I may snag that for a dedicated track set prior to pulling the trigger on COs.

Dusold designs has an 18x11 square setup

And they're running coilovers. Lol.
