Here's a few pics I took of my brother's car at the track today. My car is in the background in the last pic.

Nice!
Do you happen to know his wheel & tire specs/sizes?

Stop. You don't need to buy more wheels and tires. I bet you have a very similar set in your warehouse full already. :lol:

LMAO .... we actually only have 2 sets of wheels/tires for each car.
I have the 20's and the 18" SVT's, she has her Alcoas and her factory 18's
And I'm looking to sell my Niches soon, get something that fits better in the back with the tires I want to run, and lower the ass of the car back down where it belongs

Not really sure. All I know is they are Matte Gunmetal Velgen VMB5s and the rears are 305/30/19 Toyo R888. I don't know the offset or anything. The fronts are R888s also, not sure of the width. 285 I think. The wheels are staggered.

Cool, thanks.



Today I got a couple of pics taken by an on-track photographer from last Saturday's autocross event that we had both cars in.

Cool how it shows the front drag radials I was using, how they're not rolling over at all:

And my fiancee in her Shelby:

Cool shots. I think as long as you keep the pressure up on most drag radials they can be ok in corners, if they're low profile. Sticky rubber is sticky rubber. Then you have variables like tread pattern etc. but either way they're probably better than running regular old summer tires.

Saw this at my local stealership while getting some warranty work done on the wife's car. Had never seen a targa top GT.
