After nearly 3 months my summer/autox wheels for the 911 finally came! Now I have to decide which tires to put on them... sigh
Quick pic. Thanks for the rims john. Thanks tintmasters for the fender roll... I will try and get some better shots in a few days. My i hate the tail lights. Always something more to do.
8.5" front (.5" wider than stock, should give me some added lateral stiffness on stock size tires. Due to size availability, you have to go wider on both ends to keep the front diff happy) 11" rear (same as stock since I don't want to cram some heavy as balls 315 wide tires in the back) my only usable tire combos are: 225/40/18 and 295/30/18 255/40/18 and 295/30/18 235/40/18 and 315/30/18 I decided to stick with the top one.
heres mine.... 18x8 ALT "mustard" with 225/40-18 dunlop star specs rolled and pulled rear fenders and rolled fronts.... sitting on k sport coils picture from adam schreiner..
definately happy with the starspecs - I just am hoping they last at least one summer with autocross and all.
I had 8k street miles, 50+ autox runs, 2 days at the drag strip, and 1 high speed track day out of mine... they were pretty much dead for street use with 4-5/32 left in them. Hoping to have my summer setup on this weekend. It might be herra frush
Yes i was there! it went well.... both days SM and SSM got merged into one class... saturday i got second and sunday was like 4th.... the car handled quite well, i need to raise it up some and get a more aggresive alignment but otherwise good.
No, even the factory painted ones chip. Muteki/gorilla black painted lugs seem to hold up well, otherwise I haven't seen or used one that has (diy or otherwise). Powdercoating works a bit better. Still need to be careful with them.
Man some of you guys run hella flush, i love the look! i wish i had the dollars to do my wheels too.... soon right?
