Square set up

[Jon8710]

I'm looking to have a square set up for trackdays
Got myself 4 18" rears but was just wondering what size tyres
Are best and if any spacers are required.
I've also got a AP brake set up if that matters at all.

Cheers

Dunlop 03G 265 35 18 seriously good tyre. Will out last cups on track and keep anyone on used slicks honest if they can drive.

Great to arrive and drive. Very good wet grip.

John

265's all round will limit spacer width's unless you're running lots of camber

Shimmy will be along in a bit with some gen...:thumbs:

[Jon8710]

Is this to use on the CSL?

If so you could go 265 35 18 on the new Nankang soft tread, posted some good times at £600 a set as used on M3 Cup cars:

Or dunlop 03G, about £1100 ish. The dunlops won't need spacers as they are wide:

I don't use spacers on track, on a normal tyre you could go 5mm-10mm on the rear purely for looks.
