That's cool, just curious. Letting someone else drive your car can be humbling. I did it once.

Haha I did this once with a buddy of mine in my RS.

I just remember thinking "I know the timer isn't on, but I have a feeling these laps would make mine look terrible."

He has driven my car in a past iteration as well, but not in a wheel-to-wheel environment. I think we were both aware of the risks. Always an odd experience, but fun :)

Nothing I love more than seeing everyone so excited to open up their SM-10 wheels! Un-boxing shots for the win

Frankly ,in a weird way we need to think good thoughts about the M3, as it was the competitive standard bearer for Ford to challenge with the second Gen Boss 302. It was such an excellent track coupe that when the Boss 302 catapulted over the benchmark, it established itself as an instant classic road racing menace!
 
Nothing better than the high you get from a successful track weekend :headbang: Here is our friend Jim's GT350, locked and loaded for the open road.

I know I'm a little late to this party, but can you run 305 R888s with this same setup? Are the 295 wide enough? I don't want any poke. I have a coupon for a nearly free set of Toyos so I plan to get R888s.
thx

Yep you can run the 305 no problem. Only difference to the setup that you quoted would be the possibility of needing a 25mm spacer instead of a 20mm, otherwise it will fit great and not poke at all, especially on a GT350 with the wider fenders.

Jae finished up his winter upgrades which included a set of the new SM-10 wheels on his Mustang GT. Find him out on the local AutoX courses tearing it up.
