19x11 square for stu

Evildky

I want the 19's due to the dimeter of the tires available. Presently running the 285/35/19 on the OE nismo wheels, which gets me 67 mph in second and 123 in 4th which works out well for me as I just get to the rev limiter of 4th in two places on my local track (NCM). STU limits width to 11" and 315's so I'd like to be able to run 315's on 11's, at least for autocross.

The car came with stillen gen 3 cai. So for autoccross I'm bumped to STU, for Time Trails, unless they change it, the nismo gets bumped to S2. I figure I may as well build the car for STU which puts me in T3 for TT. Podium T3 cars last year were slower than S2, the Nismo does not belong in S2, and I've told Jon

I added the hotchkis front bar and Koni sports all around, carbotech Xp12/10 pads. car came with megan Y pipe, ISR catback with the resonator cut out. The car will also be getting amber arms and coil overs (not sure which ones yet). loads of options foreverythign else, the wheels choices are few.

The clutch while it isn't a real problem yet I figure Id replace the clutch, csc etc in the off season which makes it a good time to do headers and high flow cats, LSD and either add a resonator or replace the exhaust completely (it drones, but does meet sound restrictions for the track)

Trust those of us saying to go with 18's. Get yourself a set of 18x11's and run 315/30-18 Yokohama A052's.

You also may want to check the STU rules as last I knew clutches had to remain OE. Also you'll find the xp12/10 combo is overly agressive for autox. Might want to think about swapping pads between autox and track duty.

I don't love the yoko's, I got a set for my miata, kinda remind me of the old bias ply R comps. Loads of stick with no sidewall. The 18 size only costs me about 3 mph in second but 6 in 4th. Fine for autocross, less ideal for track, I'd rather not have to do a bound up dogleg downshift cresting turn 16 at NCM at 120+ mph, been there done that, sketchy AF.

I'm pretty familiar with the rules. The clutch and csc to go in is a stock.

Yes these pads are a bit more aggressive than most seem to like in this chassis, I ran 12's front and rear on my 350Z (GT). This chassis gets way twitchy with that much rear bite, also the larger akebono's and the OE abs don't seem to know what to with this much bite either. I'm used to the aggressive pads at autocross, anything less, is well, less.
