Please post pictures of your track wheels

I like fairly light and reasonably priced 19" OZ superleggera HLT for track work. Anyone has pictures of these on the car? Any other track wheel pictures are welcome too! Thanks

Looks good. Thanks for the pics! What offsets did you buy 49 or 53 and how's the fit (? I am leaning towards 49mm because of 8mm wider front track vs 53mm, but I wonder how's the fit? Some close up pics to show how flush with the fender these wheels/tires would be much appreciated.

I wish toyo made 245/35/19s as that would be ideal match for 305s in the back. Everyone who's interested in that size should pick up the phone and ring Toyo (I did). These guys listen!
I assume you're running 235/35/19 front and 305/30/19 rear?

More pics please if you have any!

One more question... As far as I know stock suspension components will only give around -1.6 front and -2.0 rear max. What did you do for more front camber(it looks like you've got some)?

I am running 235/35 and 295/30. I was bummed that there wasnt a 245 as well. I went for the 295 beacause I didnt want to be overtired in the rear and under-tired up front, causing the car to push and understeer. Also going with the 295's saves you $400. You will have plenty of grip to have a good time!

I didnt do anything to my factory alignment specs. I figured take it out for the first track day, check the tire wear and adjust as needed. I was blown away. with the PDCC, the car stays incredibly flat. Like no roll at all! My tire wear has been very even, so Ive left it alone.

That's one of the nice things about this setup is there is no real compromise for street or the track. Just a quick wheel swap and brake flush and drive it to the track

This setup is not flush in the front. You could add a spacer if you wanted, but i think it would only be for looks. The added track width up front wouldnt be noticeable

Also, I highly recommend the Motiv Power Bleeder if you are in the market

Best of luck with whatever setup you go with!

Thanks for the info. Its funny how 991 can make a 19" wheel look smallish. I do have motive bleeder and i think 235/295 makes better sense than 235/305. I'll probably go with the same combo. Would you happen to remember which offset front wheels did you go with, 49mm or 52mm?
