Track wheels

Nothing wrong with running hubcentric spacers and proper hardened/extended stuff to get offsets where they need to be if too positive.

I currently run PF01 in 10.5 all around. Et38 front with a 10mm spacer to clear the suspension and et15 rear. I plan to get NT03 in 10.5 all around with a spacer in rear for clearance.

Agree on the spacers and ARP studs. This will end up being a winter purchase for next year. The 2 wheels I mentioned above are the cheapest quality track wheels I have found. Specz can use anything 18x10 and no less than 18.5 lbs unless you go with the PF01's which are the recommended wheel.

with 285's can you run that with the stock fender liners and fenders on the front? How much camber are you running?

yes, i run 285/35/18 RS3s with full compression articulation and no rubbing at -3.2 front (which is a pyrometer verified ideal angle for my setup) and -1.75 rear. When i run my 275/35/18 RC1s, i run a 15mm spacer up front and a 10 in back, still no rubbing.

I had to google RC1s. I had no idea Maxxis made a slick. Good price on them too. How do they compare to the NT and RS3... limited tire budget so looking for best bang for the buck for TT next year.

grip level is similar to the NT01, but communication is better and sidewall/carcuss construction is stiffer. end of this month will be my 6th track day on them, so far they have not shown a dramatic drop off in performance. alot of the miata guys using them are seeing alot of consistant heat cycles outta them. I'd recommend trying a set yourself. Their durability and drivability i feel are their best attributes
