GMG 18" Track Shoes

Here are a couple of photos of my new 18" monoblock track shoes from GMG. I've run the 19" one piece wheels for most of this season, and have elected to go with the 18" wheels and R6's for the last event of the year. Once again, exceptionally well made, powder coated satin black and clear the stock brakes with room to spare.




Here are the 19's in brushed finish

Hey 58SPDSTR, what size Hoosers are you going to mount on your new 18" shoes?

The Hoosier 255/40/18 fronts and 335/30/18 rears seem the way to go. Not sure if your narrow rear body would fit that size tire as compared to the 3RS.

For the first set I went a little more conservative to be sure they would clear everything. 245/35 front, 315/30 rear. I'm pretty sure that the 335's would fit on the rear running -2.5 degrees of camber. The 245's also have adequate clearance with -3 degrees of front camber; the 255's might be close though many others have said that they work.

Your car on the silver 19s is one of the nicest looking 997s of all time IMO!! Both sets of wheels look awesome

Just curious as to why you went down a notch to the 18's, since Hoosier R6's are available for 19" wheels.

I'll buy those 19's from you if you want to sell them!

Speaking for me I am going to 18" wheels for a few factors.

More tire brands.
More tire sizes.
Rains are avalible.
Tires overall are a little cheeper.

Not sure what 18" wheel I will go with but the 19" GMG wheels I had ( just sold then ) were top notch and the power coat was the best I have ever seen.

Same question here. IF you can get the r6 in a 19 why go to the 18 wheel??

Trying to keep things simple. Is it cost of tires, performance, what.

So confused......
