thoughts about track rims and tyres

[alexk]

Managed today to sort out my car and remove my track wheels, check them all over and put back on road pads and wheels for the winter.

From my recent outing at Bedford trying out rear CSL rims up front i can report the following;


1. Running 9.5Jx19 rims with 265/30 Cups up front with -3 camber on track suspension setting clears the arch

2. I did notice (see pics) minorubbing of the arch liner but that when checked was from slow speed max lock turns in the pit area.

3. No excessive wear of the tyres

4. The car did feel like it was gripping better on turn in and the data logger seemed to back that up although it does need some more runs in constant good weather to back this up

5. I did notice however the slightly heavier or maybe grippier front wheel as soon as i got in!!

The pics below show the minor rubbing and the before and after look of the car.

I am going to get a new set of CSL wheels this year.
I am considering getting 4 x rears.
shimmy can you provide some update about it ? Is it worth it ?

Also, do you have any other pics of your car with the 4 x rear CSL wheels ?

That was only time I used them Alex, the tramlining at -3 on the road is a pain

I rarely drive it so it won't be a problem.

Where you happy otherwise ?
I mean, does it make sense ?

it looks very aggresive and i like staggered look more so i guess from mu perspective no.

I found some pics of the car.








It looks like a tight fit.

Its fine, do it, better to have camber at -3.25, mine just rubs at full lock so slightly. Running intrax coilovers.

I dont find them to bad tram lining compared to normal set up.
