They are the camaro offsets, ET11 in front and ET43 in back.

A few guys up here in Norcal has seen faster times on sticky concrete compared to Re71r's.

I just figured out who you are. Howdy - long time Earl.

Mushy as in the sidewalls feel soft?

Yeah, thats what I've heard. Even though we are running on a lower grip asphalt I got them over the RE71Rs because of two reasons, 1) it's the hot time of the year and these were reported to handle heat better, 2) a local guy in a GT350R was 0.3 seconds quicker with these than the RE71s. Now I know that will change when it gets cooler out but thats several months away. And with having a co driver, they tires are likely to be gone by then anyways.



Hi KJ, Been a while. I've come a long way from the GLHS and RX7s.

Yes, They seen to have more sidewall flex. Last weekend was my first outing on them. It was a totally new setup so I wasn't sure what to expect.

Are you using the same lug nut as from your Stock wheels? I am having my wheels mounted and firestone called me wondering if the stock Lug nuts will fit, that it seems like it might be tight. I didnt know the answer and assumed the same lugs from stock wheels would work.

I would like to have these wheels in 19" in stock offset... But the tire choice in 285/35 and 305/35 is so limited, i Will wait. I had these wheel on my E90 M3, for the price they are great !

I think the recommended tire size is 285/35 and 305/30. There are a lot more choices at 305/30.

I am not running the stock lug nuts. I think they will work but when I test fitted, the impact socket I have would rub on the wheel. So I think you would need a thin wall socket to keep that from happening.

I got them on the car with the stock lugs. Thanks!

I am hearing some clicking sound (like a geiger counter sound almost) from what seems like the front of the car when driving. Is that something specific to these tires being new? (RE71R) I am fairly certain nothing is rubbing.

Size is 285-35-19 Front (10 inch), 305-30-19 (11 inch) with alignment spec off of Camaro Track Prep guidelines. Also have aFe Control sway bars and springs.

IIRC, they are about 10 pounds lighter per wheel in the front and a little over 8 pounds lighter per wheel in the rear when you factor in weight savings from the tires, too.

I can't feel a difference on the street in regards to steering response and I haven' had a chance to take it to a road course yet . I'm hoping to see a difference in lap times. Almost 40lbs less of rotational mass and an effectively lower gear ratio due of the smaller diameter setup should make some sort of noticeable affect on lap times. Of course that could mean squat if these 888R tires don't perform as well as the factory SC3.

They better! They're a stickier option and are supposed to be quicker to warm up.
