Full track setup (@TonyZ34)

everything else looks sad to me. even the stock nismos come with 19's
You can certainly hit the track with Tony's old setup from 2016 as referenced in the picture, but i'd be hesitant to call it a "full track setup".

Also regarding 19's on a track car, most grassroots racers try to stay away from anything larger than 18's for the following reasons...
  • More limited tire choices than 18's
  • Cost of tires and wheels
  • Cannot rotate tires with the stagger of most 19's
  • Weight
  • Did i say cost?
  • Oh yeah and cost

Hey you need to add the cost to your list!

And the Z is more balanced with 18s and a square setup. All the GT4 and Grand Sport race cars are setup with 18 square.

My ADD kicked in lol. An excellent point, the car rotates far better with the square setup! With the stagger it was understeer city for me!
