Love to hear the affects of the 315's on your lap times!

Currently running PZero slick scrubs so I'm hoping that slightly larger, sticker Hoosiers are at least equivalent.
New dampers on the way from Vorshlag in a couple weeks as well that should really make a difference.
Are those the +47 offset from OutPerformance?ArizonaBOSS said:Ordered my first set of 18x10.5 PF01s today...the wait begins

DGRacing said:A 315 on a 10.5 will have the same contact patch as a 305. 315 needs 11"+ for maximum performance.
ArizonaBOSS said:Yep understand that too...but this is the best size I can do to achieve the move back to DOTs to shrug a bunch of weight off the car. Dampers more important than custom 11" wheel prices, and the "economical" 11" wheels can't be rotated.
DGRacing said:Good reasons.
There's no 305 though?
NFSBOSS said:You're going to need a set of spats up front.
cloud9 said:Test fit new Forgestar 18 x 11s with a Hoosier R6 315/30/18. I needed 3/8" (9mm) spacer to give me about 4mm clearance to the strut. Too tight? :-\ Next need to know if they'll hit the fenders. I tried different approaches to compress the front as much as I could short of putting it on track. I used 5" of boards under the front tire to compress it. How much further will it travel before hitting the bump stops?
Yes. I'm leaning toward just running the same 295 up front and 315 out back that I've been running. It should still net a larfer contact patch running thos size tires on 18x11 and 18x12 wheels versus the 18x9.5 and 18x10.5 wheels I have been using.Swiss Boss said:Cloud9, is that the Forgestar from Vorshlag?

There is a very slight fender rub I can see after two sessions, rolling tomorrow should cure that. .25in spacer up front each side. Very close to locking collar on the coilover strut but no contact after a thrashing on-track at Willow Springs.
This setup has over an inch more tire width vs. the 305 pirellis on a 10" wide wheel, not to mention a wider track width all-around.
