Any info on what Ray had to do to get those wheels/tires to fit with the rideheight so low?

What kind of rear spoiler is that?

Kevin M 2010-02-06 10:10 PM

Kinda looks like APR to me, but there are probably other CF spoilers with aluminum struts that look more or less the same.

The main wing part is some cheap import carbon fiber piece that is actually pretty nice. The sides and the aluminum supports Ray made himself.

Ray is a serious fab. guy, so he makes lots of misc. stuff for the car. He is currently doing a full cage for the car from scratch. The off-the-shelf one he had before was just not safe enough and not approved for TTA or whatever class(es) he wants to compete in.

I will ask him. I think those are 275's. I think he mentioned that the adjustable end links (he designed & fab'd) and the amount of camber he runs allows them to fit with whatever offset he has, but there must be more to it than that.

Camber plates at all 4 corners, camber bolts in the rear, adjustable rear lateral links (the ones he made), some serious time with a fender roller, selective wheel offset, and selective camber.

Pretty sure those are the 265's that I mounted for him a while ago. Now it's on 285's.

I didn't even realize I work with him.. Saw the pictures on his toolbox

Yes, except for the tire size. 275/35-R18's. Goodyears now (semi-sponsored).

General note: the 18" wheel size is to clear the huge front brakes, not for handling.

I'm lusting for a set to run 285/30R18 Hoosiers. I'll probably still have tiny brakes when I do. :lol:

Aaronsp10 2010-02-09 12:56 AM

Yeah Thats pretty much the reason I moved to Reno
