saw the 44 offset on the 11s, couldn't see the # on the 10.5s

If I were to go with a custom Penske's shocks, from Phoenix Racing, then 11" NP in the front.

NJMP's calendar shows a private track event tomorrow. That you?

I'd like to see that beast of yours.

I didn't know 18' wheels will fit SS. Do you have to use spacer?

Yup... 3/4 but let me verify.. Front only btw

I used one of the wheel calculators and input the stock wheel numbers for the 10" wheel to calculate what the dimensions would be on an 11" wheel to get the proper inside spacing. The numbers come out 20 x 11 ET 7. (not sure if this small of an offset would cause a problem clearing the caliper). I would prefer not to grind the strut or use spacers. I have the Moreno camber plates and achieved -3 with the plates at full negative then adjusted at the knuckle to get to -3. This approach does not add enough room for a bigger wheel.

Apex said they were going to start making wheels that fit. Haven't seen anything come out as of this time.

That number sounds right. I run 18x10.5 +22 with a 12mm spacer so +10 effectively. This is on an SS 1LE with max knuckle camber (-2.5). With a 20" diameter though I believe you will have more clearance. The tight spot is at the strut tab and as you go higher (larger diameter) the clearance increases.

All the best,

Can you give us more details of this incident? What kind of turn, speed, lateral g's etc. Many of us are running sticky tires on track and monitoring oil pressure without issue so far. This is the first I've heard of an actual oiling issue on this platform so would love to know more.

Nice setup. Was just at Lightning on Thursday. Interested in how the sidewalls feel with such wide tires hopefully they won't be "vague/squishy".

Hey Norma was nice meeting you today

[NickyRacerBoy]

So spacer is 3/4. Apexi rim in my previous post will fit without strut mod when running 295/30/18 but it you wanna squeeze 315 then strut needs modifications
