Test fitted my new setup for this season.... 275/35-15'' Hoosier A6 for the front! 225s going on the rear. Front wheels are 15x9 with a 15 offset, rears 15x8 with a 25 offset.
Fat. Very Fat. Rubber.
How much power are you putting onto those and what kind of clutch are you running?

Nice. Are you reworking the fenders to accommodate?

I am most likely getting shorter coil springs in the front, so I can raise the perch ( so tire doesnt touch with more camber). I need to run more negative camber with these tires, so they will be in at the top more than it is now.

Serious power indeed. And I thought you wouldn't be running some ole stock clutch with that rubber needed.

Insanity. I'm assuming this is for track use, and not tight-course autocross?

You will be able to easily pick him out of a crowd. He will be the one with the seam splitting left leg and normal sized right one....hahahaha

It is intended more for autocross, and circuit cross style ( standstill start, one hot lap) time trials. The good thing about being in the DC region, is that I get to Compete with the national SMF champion and other really strong competitors. 275s up front is my only chance to be a front runner.

Thats awesome, thats the same tire size I was going with this year. Good luck man. I hope to make an event up north once this year. I will be in FSP probably.
so nasty. Are those CCW's too?

Avid 12 is the wheel. I came across a crazy deal, $219 for all 4 brand new. Reason; wheel paint color was off. I did an alignment today and dialed in a good starting point for camber, the tire sits darn near flush. The picture above was with a 3mm spacer, which is no longer being used. The inside of the tire clears the coilover body by about 4mm. These wheels fit PERFECTO:biggrin:

Those are some phat ass wheels. :cool:
I'm guessing you rub like crazy on rough roads?

This wheel and tire combo will probably never see a public road, so I'm not to worried about rubbing issues. I run 450lb springs up front along with a 300lb sway bar, so far that fender to tire gap has never closed.

Hahaha. It's still power by a 1NZ though so it counts.

Sweet. I still want to apologize to OP for not reading the title and the thread itself. All I saw was 320whp
