i'll have to get some better pics of what we all did to make 315's fit.
wheels used are an 18x10.5 +30 offset. no spacer in rear but fronts did use a 15 or 20mm spacer.
The rear was the hardest to make fit. with wisefab, you can actually adjust the rear track width. We had to move everything inwards as far as possible. The rear trailing arms are made for additional clearance vs the stock trailing arms. Also had to do some slight fender pulling but not much, but enough that you'll probably crack a little bit of paint.
Does wisefab sell just trailing arms as a substitute for r/t ernies? Their whole front/rear kit seems more for rally than street.
For those of us that only want say 285 or 295

When I bought it you could buy front and rear seperate as I understood. I was buying both anyhow so I'm not sure what the pricing/availability was individually.

^^^Theres the answer to my question. Rear track is adjustable
The kit is now live on their site. Front and rear are seperate. Not for the faint of heart $$$$. Hopefully in the production version they've put better hardware in it.
I want to hear more about your trailer and e85 stops. What are the rules on trailers? Those must have been super magic trailer wheels to cover all those miles.

you can pull whatever you want being the car. we've used the SAME cheap harbor freight trailer for 3 one laps. same small wheels and same bearings. in fact I use it pretty often the rest of the year too. It has at least 20-30k miles on it. I've taken the bearings apart and cleaned them up twice and they look great still. Good grease is key.
we ran 100% e85 this year. wasn't too hard to do with the 2017 route. we had 6 5gal jugs of it. We have dual tune to run pump if needed.
Wondering if you guys heard about this WeisFab front control arm failure?
Not sure if everyone is familiar w/Ken Thwaits Showtime Motorsports EvO? This was at a competition AX this last weekend
Makes me wonder how durable this susp really is. I asked Ken if he has contacted WeisFab to have their Eng dept look at this failure
BTW, I watched the Vid, there was no contact that caused this
One of the FB comments questioned my summation that the control arm failed & said the failed C/O could have initiated the chain of events. I dont think so!!!

Oh wow, the coilover is likely 0% first fault here. Just looking at the overall thickness and webbing size I would bet the combo of high steering angle of AX and heavy braking caused the trailing section to buckle. If you look at the OEM control arm, it beefed up right around that section where it could buckle.
The Racefab guys seem to always be shooting for max steering angle which at least on the evos just make this all worse for loading. I know on my setup at full lock I just contact the trailing arm with the 295s sucked in as far as they'll go with no strut clearance. Its the tradeoff to getting the other benefits that are available with the caster adjustment.
