Thanks! I'll have to get some better pictures of both sets of wheels on the car when it's clean and back from getting all set up with my 624HP Whipple kit.

Track wheels will have to wait til the next track day.

Square Forgestar F14 18x10 +42 295/30 R18 Toyo R888 ... in Action:


Laguna Seca - 11-23-12 by surfergeek, on Flickr

great picture and this looks like a sweet track wheel setup. did you weigh your wheel/tire combo before you mounted them up by chance?

 

[Surfergeek]

The Wheels are about 20lbs each, the tires come in at 29lbs each, so it's about 46/47 lbs per corner. (for the toyo R888 and Forgestar F14 wheels)

EDIT: Fixed it, 29lbs not 27

Thats way light. Most 18x10 combos are closer to 65lbs/corner.

Toyo has those tires listed at 29.1, those there is a few pounds of the difference.

You are right, I read the wrong line on Tire Rack chart with the weights, it is 29lbs ... still way light!

 

[OkieSnuffBox]

Yeah that's not bad, even the 205/50/15's on my track car are 20lbs each.

...a standard setup for many are the Enkei PF01 18x10.5 +38mm. I run these with 285/40/18 GY F1 Supercar on the street and 295/30/18 Hoosier R6 on track...square setup, no spacers...never rubbed on street or track. They clear the Brembos with no problem...let me know if you want a deal on the Enkeis...

 

[Mach2burnout]

Cheap Saleen copies.

Marc, those Replica Wheels-Saleen style will clear Brembos without spacers?

Best price I could find was from David on my PF01s.

David what seat belt bar are you using there? And what's up with that Gigantic picture? LOL! Oh, and What the .. is that under the ass end of the blue & white car next to yours?

Not sure about the Brembos. The fit the Baer 6 piston 14" brakes without spacers.

Nice to know, since they're only, what about $540 shipped, new IIRC.

They are really inexpensive.

LOL! I'm not sure what happened...these are photos that I uploaded for another post about a year ago...I simply copied the link, but didn't really look at my post...sorry everyone...not sure if I can 'downsize' the photos!.

The seat belts are just standard 3" 6-point G-Force harness.

That's a diffuser...they designed it to make it easily removable for access to other areas...I guess!

David your car looks sweet! Those PF01s are tempting...


the diffuser serves as the kids skateboard ramp during offseasons

NEMustang how far do these poke out in the rear? I was looking into this setup in the rear and either a 9-9.5 in the front.

I have a set of both the 18x9.5 +35mm offset and the 18x10.5 +38mm. I always run a square setup with both sets without a problem. The advantage of running a square setup allows rotation of my Hoosiers for maximum wear...no clearance issue at all...they do not stick out. I you look at the side view shot of my car in post #49 (with the obnoxiously large photos!!), you can see the rear does not stick out, nor does the front.

Caveat emptor (let the buyer beware)

You get what you pay for...If you plan on tracking the car, inexpensive cast wheels should be avoided...I see them break all the time. A Miata flipped in front of me and decide to play "Turtle" due to cheap cast wheels...If you're just getting some bling wheel for cheap, go for it.
