Junkyard Dog replied to the thread HPDE tires.This car weighs almost what our cars weigh and has a lot of power, so this longevity review on the new Hoosier Track Attack Pro (not the R8, a 40 tw tire. This is a 200 tw tire and significantly cheaper) might be useful. It is 305R30/19 (see full post)-

Like.I agree with Dave. Almost every GT slick on the planet is for an 18" wheel, so 18's are a no-brainer in my book. My car came with 19's, but for track duty, I'm a fan of an 18" wheel.I like to have some sidewall to work with as a driver. Very... -
There's a lot of quoting of general cases, but we're dealing with a specific case here. If you use a spacer, and the same wheel, the centerline of the wheel & tire moves away from the hub, and leverage (and bearing wear) on the hub increases...

Gunslinger55 replied to the thread HPDE tires.I’ll test them out when i get them assuming OP’s spacers are good. Yeah if you have it set up right specifically engineered for your application all should be good. I’m not worried i’m going to do it. Plenty of people do it wrong in various... (see full post)

I need to just have this auto post every 45-60 days, but the above is a terrible idea. I do alignments, mostly on performance cars as a decent part of my living. Average about 250/year. And lots of camber plates.Any non threaded adjustment...

Gunslinger55 replied to the thread Unfair advantage.I agree i’m sure it’s work. The car is from AZ and you probably seen it. So what car isn’t a lot of work? i got a brand new mustang and now im thinking about changing tons of stuff on it? It’s and endless cycle. Kinda like Donohue talks about in... (see full post)

Those rear pads look like a big clue to the instability under braking that you’re reporting in your other thread. 3 of the 4 are down to metal but the 4th appears to have decent material left.
