CSL track rim options

[shimmy]

TBH, I would only buy that one back, and its strictly not for sale:bigcry:


but if you beat me at Donny, then I might have to buy one. LOL

If I beat you at Donny with you in the GtR' you need to by a mobility scooter?:whistle:

I need to get out in it for some practice:thumbs:

Might take it to work in morning, see how icy it is first. Pointless task if icy.

Thanks for all the replies,

i'm thinking of pulling the trigger on some team dynamics 18x9 et30 all round?

Can any one confirm is this the right size or should I be going for a different offset. I don't want them rubbing or to have to roll the arches:gayfight:

If i fitted a different offset could i get away without spacers? I have AP's front and rear...

I assume 265/35 is ok on 18x9

finally, gloss black or matt black?:hahaha:

Ive had both gloss and matt, both et 30 and et20. All in 18x9.

I recommend 18x9 et30 with a 12mm rear spacer.

Also go matt black as I discoloured my gloss ones in the centres, due to heat from my brakes. I was driving it hard and the heat transfer faded the centres after 3 trackdays. Matt black FTW.

I also ran 265 35 18 with zero issue on 9j rim.

Sorry if I missed it somewhere, newbie an' all that :thumbs:, but can this 265 square setup people talk about be run on standard suspension? Thanks in anticipation.

never tried but even if the rims fit...the problem you may have is the extra suspension travel especially on track so you may get rubbing.

this is what i will be doing, let hope its ok:whistle:

Take the 5mm allen key grub screw off your front top mounts, slacken your 13mm's off then push your shocks in fully.

It makes the standard set-up so much better:thumbs:

Tbh if you do trackdays and have decent tyres it is a bit of a false economy not upgrading suspension as you pay for it in tyre wear anyway.

yeah, I'm well aware of the benefits of coilovers. I had an e36 Track tool with KW's etc but I'm trying to avoid molesting the CSL as long as possible, i just really like the way it handles on the road and don't want to go messing with the suspension just yet.

I probably will go for coilovers eventually. I'm doing a trackday tomorrow so i'll see what the handling is like and make a decision then..:whistle:

Snet tomorrow?
