I just ordered up some new race meat for the coupe. Ordered these (18x11 15mm offset) with 315 R8r’s for test tires. Currently I have square. 18x10s with Toyo RRs

I’ll figure out during shakedown how to mix and match the wheels I suspect I’ll end up running 275s up front and 315s in back but it might go 275 Toyo RA1s square in the wet, and 315 R8r’s square on dry days. Well just have to experiment a bit.

It will be a bit before I can speak intelligently to my new tires. I loves the RA1s. I was actually a bit slower on my RRs.
The 315s might be a tad slower just due to weight differences from the 275s hard to say... a lot will depend on grip with my downforce I am learning a lot as we go.

Just for fun, here is the stack.
![]() Can you say “meaty”?? These are 315s. In person they lead me to suspect that 275s in front will be enough. Putting those 315s up front seems like huge overkill. But we will see...

So...you'll going to paint a red car, blue. What's your base color going to be?

No metallic and no buffing out or wet sanding the orange peel. because, you know... race car. This has to be as repeatable and fixable as I can make it. We'll be spraying OTO in the inside and doing a nice grey primer and guide coat to get her mostly straight. ps the photo above is just a prelim sketch off forza 7 my blue is less purple and much darker

In other news the Z is finally going in to get her JWT valve lash set. (It came way off from IPP) as I’m going to have the front cover off and the cams out anyhow as well as redoing all the lash, I’m going to put on new timing chains and tensioning bits in there as well as upgrading to the JWT C2 cam (That I thought they put in the first time...)
... then retune which includes dyno runs on the EDC and a reflash of the VVEL motors etc. Sheesh! such a deal. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
