We have close to a dozen stickers that we have to run for series sponsors. Some for discounts, some for awards, etc.

Thanks!

Yes, difficult for a 315 on a 10.5 +15 for sure. Spacers aren't the problem, the low offset is. You'd need to seriously yank on the fenders to make more "outward" room. Inner clearance is not the problem. 315 fits easily in the rear on a +28ish 10.5" wheel, but getting it in the front will be another challenge. One that I know Mike (03threefiftyZ) is about to tackle. The 10.5 +15 offset for the front and a big tire is about right though. +18ish would be slightly better, but that's arguing in the minutia.

hummm....well i did the whole "hella flush" thing for a while so i have my fenders pretty rolled and flaired out...so if they need more, im not scared to beat the hell out of them with a hammer haha...maybe ill try it out...if i sell my current wheels and tires, i should be able to pull it off wihtin the next few months...

Nope. Mine were sticky as hell first time out. They had a few street miles on them though to wear off the release agent.

Thanks for the feedback. Looks like the rs3s are on national back order so I ended up getting a deal on some kumho xs

Meh....not a big fan of the XS's. I probably would have bumped down to 275/35 Star Specs....just my opinion.

is this your DD?
if it is, hopefully you don't get in an accident with that cage.

how are the NT05s after a couple heat cycles? I hear they start to suck?

Nop, its track dedicated.. hence the cage.
And yes, the Nt05s didn't convince me. Not a fan.
