New SSR comps + Pirelli PZero Corsas

[vtluu]

Got them mounted and am scrubbing them in for tomorrow's NCRC event at Laguna Seca. Figured I might as well take some photos so I'll remember what they looked like when they were clean. :lol:

Now taking bets on whether or not I'll need to roll the rear fenders:

Looks good! What size are the wheels and tires? :D

[brwnrice]

Sweet wheels, dude!

Yup! 30mm offset is what I got from TireRack. There's about 3/4 of an inch of clearance between the rear wheel and the shock/spring so I wonder if 35mm (or 40mm plus a 5mm spacer) might have worked better in the rear. Oh well, worse comes to worse I'll get the rear fenders rolled. It's got to happen sooner or later anyway. ;)

I've been rolling with the Corsas (which are R-compounds with similar characteristics to the Toyo RA1) and the rear seats out and it's amazing how much noise I get from the rear of the car, with the R-comps just picking up every bit of gravel and spraying it against the fender liners. My roommate (currently streeting his M3 on Michelin Pilot Sport Cups :shock:) says he likes to deal with tailgaters by finding an nice patch of loose gravel and rocks to roll over, spraying the car behind. :lol:
