Re: Track Wheels and setup?

Wow thanks! I haven't checked the forum in quite awhile. I just got back from PRW, car runs pretty good except it's WAY too stiff. It's got Mugen N1 coilovers but I don't know what springrates the previous owner picked. I was hitting my helmet on the roof with the stock seats. After eating and drivi...

Re: Track Wheels and setup?

I bought black Team Dynamics rims with white lettering. I exagerated a little about the lowering of the car. It is lowered 1.5" all around and not 2". I too was going to buy Kosei rims but I thought these because they looked a lot nicer, and they had a lot more choice in offsets. There wa...

Re: Track Wheels and setup?

I'll probably order a set of those as well. I'll try running 225/45/50 Hankook Z211 R compounds. Cheap and supposedly decent. What colour did you get and do you have pics?

Thanks.

Re: Track Wheels and setup?

I have recently installed 15x7 wheels with 45 mm offset for the track. The wheels are made by Team Dynamics in England and distributed in US by TeamdynamicsUSA. They weigh 13.2 lbs (I checked them). For tires, I use 225/50/15 Michelin Pilot Sport Cup R compound front and rear. I removed the plastic...

Re: Track Wheels and setup?

What offset 15x7 TE37 would fit over Spoon calipers? I'm guessing +45?

Re: Track Wheels and setup?

225/50/15's are too tall. 225/45/15 (Hoosiers) are the only tire I'm aware of in a 225 that will fit on an R. Even then you'll have to roll the rear fenders. That said, a good 205 (street or competition) tire will be more than enough for an R especially with 7-8 wide wheels. SSR Compeitions are goo...

I have to agree 15x7 would be my choice.
Yeah, I emailed tirerack, they said they'll be here in a couple of months to replace the old K1's.

Re: Track Wheels and setup?

Thanks for the posts guys. I'll be running some time trial events. I saw on Kosei Japan's website their K-1's are doublespoke... look much nicer than the single spoke ones at Tirerack... anyone know where you can get those?

Track Wheels and setup?

Hi all,

What do roadracers use for their ITR's for wheel and tire sizing? I'm trying to decide between 15x7 or 16x7 and I assume 225/50 all around.

Re: Looking for an ITR

:cry: There was three prospective ITR's in trader.ca for Ont. on friday. I called them again today and they were ALL sold on saturday. Too bad I'm not local to them. The ITR's in Vancouver are way overpriced.

Looking for an ITR

Hi all,

I'm looking for a decent priced ITR. It's to be raced so interior and wheels are optional. I don't want any engine mods as I need stock reliability. Please let me know if you know of one or have one for sale.

Thanks.
