V1 Redlines - 2008 SS TC Goblin build in Mississippi

[IDRVSLO]

Nothing wrong with spacers, people are weird about them. I ran them on my Mercedes GLA45 and tracked that car........ssooooooo yeah.

I just can't wait to see what this thing looks like with the 295's on it. won't be far off an Indy car. lol

 

[IDRVSLO]

Gonna be nutty looking.

In a good way. Interested to see how its handling characteristics are.

these are what I went with.

Thanks ordered I went with Dekagram 15 in front 16 in rear 205 in front 275 in rear on R888Rs. Excited to see the performance. 295's all around is going to be crazy on the track.

What did those run you? why did you want such a difference between your front and rear?

It was about $1500 with tires, wheels, spacers, and lugs. I did a good amount of research and determined that the fronts do not require as much traction and that 205s would be fine I probably could have went up to 225 but decided to not. I went with much larger in the rear obviously for performance but also the big difference of front to rear will look very nice. I am not an expert so maybe going equal front and rear width would be best I just know the aerial atom does not have an equal width.

 

[redline]

depends on what your doing. I am setup for autocross. the atoms that track race and autocross all run equal. I think the offset widths is much more a looks thing.

 

[IDRVSLO]

Im just happy we arent all the same!

Yea I will be mostly road but I will try some autocross/track too.

Note to all spacer buyers, go with 1 1/2 inch spacers. I used 1" and I had to cut the tip of each of my lugs with a cutting wheel so that they didn't stick out of the spacer. only had to cut off maybe a 1/4" but it was still a pain in the arse.

 

[redline]

so I have my horn hooked up but I have no button for it and I am not sure where the wires for the button should be, meaning the other end of the wire?? anyone have same issue? I could just run it separate but if it is in a connector already I would like to just pick it up there.

The horn wires should have been in the coil springy thing in your steering wheel. Same area as your hazard lights. I'm guessing you probably don't have those either.

 

[Dre]

I don't think I have those either...

 

[redline]

So a separate wire it is.

The new rims showed up and look at all that space between the rim and caliper!! they fit great. Just need that rubber now!

 

[redline]

TRACTION!!!!!!

 

[IDRVSLO]

What size are those???? I'm going 275s.

 

[redline]

[JeffsGoblin]

Whoa! Looks like a Formula 1 racer with those tires!
