Wheels are on order. Due to a nice sale and supplier discount, I moved over to the HRE FF15 wheel in 19x11 in 55mm offset. The plan is to use a 10mm spacer with the FRPP hubs. Color is liquid silver for those of you who care.
HRE held the order since they have never seen an 11" wheel fit on an S197 without the Cortex offset coilover setup. I told the shop (Fastlane Motorsports) to order all four and have them ship one wheel. We'll do a test fit, and if everything goes as planned, ship the other three wheels. This way, if the fitment goes awry, I'll only have to pay for shipping on one wheel. Unfortunately, I would have to pay restocking on all four. I really wish I'd taken the time to create a fitment template now, but here we go.
I'm trailering to Fastlane tomorrow morning to beat the impending snow this weekend. Scheduled to start the 3.55 rear gear, new bearings all around, and check out the LSD while we're in there.
Speaking of LSD, what's the difference between an Eaton Tru-Trak and a Torsen? Shop says the Torsen is preferred for road course use and the Tru-Trak for straight line. I thought they were the same.
Do we have a forum discount for tires anywhere? If this works, tires will be very high dollar.
