9.5J in the front

[alexk]

What is your opinion about 9.5J in the front ?

Does this has a negative effect on the steering rack by any chance ?


Cheers

I ran 9j on 265 35 18, and had no issues,

It helped front end grip no end, but did cause some "tramlining effect", but that was no issue.

Others say it will affect the bearings, rack etc, but I ran 9j 265 35 18 for a long time with no issues whatsoever.

I think you are running 9.0J next year. Inferior specification!

[englebert]

Are we talking about the rear CSL wheels on the front? Are they 9.5J?

[shimmy]

I trialed 9,5J on front using rear CSL rims but two issues!

1. Offset means it is almost impossible to run less than -3 camber. Even then they are tight on the outer arches

2. Stock wheel was a little heavy for my liking especially rear up front

Did you get this set from Italy/Austria that was for sale here ? Or brand new ?
If brand new, can you share the price pls ?

By far the best wheel for the CSL !

BBS ch 19 x 9,5” et 40 with a 12mm spacer giving et of 28mm with a 265 cup tyre. This will be within 2mm of your KW clubsport springs.

Negative points
You will need to borrow “Glendogs” :smt055 hairdryer to stop the plastic lining form touch the tyres on full lock.

Maximum speed through the Foxhole is 140MPH, the out tyre hits the front part of the outer front wing.

Slower track time on the Ring and spa due to drag and over steer.

Positive points

Faster lap times on shorter twister circuits

Longevity of the front tyres.

Looks like” Duncan” A little over weight or short fat & round lol :smt055
