CSL track rim options

[magnust]

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.

Could you please explain? What difference in wear have you seen?

mainly front inner and outer wear as the car rolls more onto the tyre edges.

its much easier to manage tyre wear

I have some at home on hard drive somewhere.

Ill try get some on tonight.

Your tyres are waiting to be collected. :thumbs:

Just had a set of team dynamics delivered 18x9 et30 all round and have a set of 265 cups to go on them. :thumbs:

Plenty Of clearance with my current set up of oem csl's 235/265 cups and 12mm spacers front and back.

To keep things similar I should be able to run rears with 12mm spacers and change the front to 3mm spacers, accounting for the change in widths and offset? Does this sound right?

Ie rear : et27 with 12mm spacer on 9.5 inch wheel being pretty similar to
et30 with 12mm but only 9inch wide

And front : et44 with 12mm on 8.5inch similar to
Et30 with 3mm spacer on wider 9inch rim?

Think ive confused myself with all the numbers :clown:

Cheers

I have same wheels mate, -3 camber , no spacer on front, and 10mm rear ..sorted.

I don't run TD but I would have though the front doesn't need spacers.

Correct

Correct

without the -3 camber would the fronts catch? great info here guys, keep it coming:thumbs:

No I dont think they would mate, but I have Intrax sussy on mine, not std.

with 265/35/18 tyres and 9.0J rims, if you can get 30-35 et offset they will fit in nicely

mine are 9.5J with same tyres and et34 and dont rub on any decent camber

cool, nice one dunc :thumbs:

car being set up for me now, intrax gone on as well, though only the 'cheapo' version not the kick ass 4 ways like yours :supz:. cant wait to try it out.

[EVLXGE]

Fitted my 18inch OZ Ultaleggeras last night and Shimmy's earlier comment of a possible issue with standard suspension and square set up has got me a little concerned. Im running 10mm spacers front, havent got a fooking clue what the offset is but ill take a picture tonight so you can see what it looks like. Dont fancy them rubbing the arches. :bigcry:

Barry did you have any issues on the last TD you did?

ps... I know I should stop being a tight cooont and fit some KW's. Had Inp 2, new tyres, tax,and insurance this month so skint...thats the excuse im sticking too.

Edit to add pics

[shimmy]

with 265 fronts i reckon we have about 10mm space between Intrax shocks and arch liner rubbing.

My car was about 1mm off damper so i added 3 mm spacer so i am about 6mm off damper and 6 mm off arch.

now with nitron the damper is about 3mm bigger on the threaded spring base so i have less space to get wheel into. i have about 1mm space with 3mm spacer fitted so i reckon i can addd about another 5-6 mm before wheel hits arch. dont do hubcentric 8mm spacers so gonna try Duncs 10mm spacers and see whats what!

[Barry C]

you must have me confused, I haven't fitted them yet, I'm hoping they will fit:bigcry:

Ah right. Ill find out sunday at Donny. Ive got some 19's with cups fitted as a back up though.

....balls havent got cups fitted, meant super sports. The spare cups ive got are nearly dead and 4 years old so new supersports are probably better anyway.

[EVLXGE]

I went out for a bit yesterday on the raod and couldnt see any sign of arch rubbing. Hopefully it will be ok on track. :banghead:

Will probably take 19's as back up though

I have been comparing these tyres with 265/30/19 fronts which rubbed at et27 however the 265/35/18 are 1.1 inches less diameter so about 13mm less radius and less poking into the wheel arch. So might be easier to work, just keep an eye on the arch rather than arch liner maybe

Still try it on full lock and soft suspension but where it will matter at Donny is compression at Craners or under braking at Redgate.
