with rcomps?

 

I'm on the RE71R,

 

800/1000 is a good street tire setup for an 8/9 IMO. I think Dallas may run something like that on r comps though.

 

Be very careful of what you read on the forums. I am running 10.5s ET22 with non legal 275 rivals (STU). The rear had to get rolled, the front liners needed to be molded and it still hits the liners under full (**** me) type compression strokes. How in gods name some of you guys claim to run 10.5 ET15 plus a 10mm spacer making it ET5 on 315s is beyond me.

I was also told 275s don't rub on stock wheels in Bstreet.....yea they rub the rear control arms and also the front fender liners under more extreme bumps while turning (very rare)

 

short answer, camber.

 

Also, Fender liner? lol

 

Got it, no dice. I must have a magical car as every claimed setup doesn't work on my X lol.


You want a REAL set up for a EVO X 10.5 wheel? You need to be looking into the high 20s low 30s offset wise imo. 15 is crazy, 5 is insane, 22 is "EEHH"

 

Yeah, what are those?

 

I posted pics of what the car looked like with the setup you're questioning. -4 degrees of camber up front, and -2.5 or so in the rear was what it was in those pics. Take that for what you may, but it's definitely been done.

 

I've seen the pictures, I read all the threads on 10.5 fitment and I just don't get it. Based on the info my 10.5 ET22 with 275s is not even considered all that aggressive but yet it still rubs lol. My suspension is stiff 12k/16k and the car is def not slammed so I'm not sure what is different about my setup or driving lol.

Its mainly rubbing on the fender liner right by the bumper/fender tab. Not bad but we will see how it does when the season finally starts up for 2017.

 

Most guys take the liner out, which solves that rubbing issue. Also, the shorter diameter of 285 or 295/30's helps ease the fitment woes quite a bit.

 

If youre rubbing on one side of the wheel well then add caster at either top or bottom to move wheel forward or back. I also cut my liner on the front edge basically completely off. It was pretty beat up so just cut out the part that rubbed the worst.

Also consider, lower offset = more rub. Getting the wheel as close to the inside limit, be it strut or brake, will give you less swing of the outside edge. I don't think about how to fit a wheel on the outside, I think about how close can I get it to the inside. After that, just pull the ish out of the fender if you have to or raise ride height (boo)

 

What do you guy run/recommend for a poly bushing kit?

 

totally theoretical question here - what amount of width would make a street tire equivalent to a race tire? i.e., would a 285 re71r have more grip than a 225 hooiser a7? just curious for those that have hopped over

 

Technically? None really. It'd have to be drastic like a 175 Vs a 335 and even then it's dependent on surface, weight and so forth. Compound has always aligned more with grip and width has always aligned more with endurance of said grip level.
