Wide stance

I'm going with voltex fenders +over fenders. also, i want to increase my track (stance) as much as i can. I'll be running 18x10.5 rims, 265x35 18 tires. I don't want to go bigger on wheel and tire sizes.

I want to sort out the susp. first, then go w/ spacers if i need them. So, any suggestions about susp. pieces, LCA's etc.?

Pick wheels with the right offset and you won't need spacers or aftermarket LCAs to make things work. With the clearance of the over fenders, I would imagine you being able to runs offset in the teens. Good luck.

need more details about what type of wheels and tires you are going to go with. with those big voltex fenders you will have plenty of room to run a low offset, a wide(r) tire than 265 if wanted (thats pretty small for a 10.5 in wheel) and have no issues with lca etc.

what suspension are you currently/going to be running? with some fender rolling and camber you will be good for w/e size you want to go with, those fenders are WIDE. gl with you set up

Gonna be using ame 18x10.5+22 and 265 35 18 michelin ps cup tires. All purpose track car in NASA TT - TTB class. My concern isn't fitment, its using NASA rules to stay in class. I want to increase track to lower the CG.

The car won't be a hp monster car with a big turbo, gonna use a 9 or green turbo. I'm all about making the car stick first, than if i want to move up in class, go big turbo.

I'm swaying towards AST 5200 for coilovers. I hope i answered your questions.

Any NASA TT racers out there that can steer me in the right direction?

Didn't know TTB can run widebody. Well, I guess you can, but it's probably not using your points to your advantage imo. You might want to request this moved to the motorsports section; plenty of NASA TT guys in there.

with all the mods you list, coilovers, turbo, large tires, you'll be over the point for TTB. anything other than stock turbo will put you in TTS. have you looked at the nasa TT car classification at all?

If i can and increase my track no more than 4 inches (using rulebook). i'll be a happy camper. I'm waiting on the tires to be delivered. So i can start doing some fender massaging.

Thanks
