I'm going to the track tonight and debating on which wheels/tires to run with. What would you guys run?

 

pilot sports are 10000 times better than proxes

 

run on 18s or 17s if u can

 

stock '03 wheels 17"

 

I used to have s set off 19' BBS wrapped in Michilen PS2's i dont think there is a better combo then a forged wheel and michilen PS2, Ill say PS2's are no competition with Toyo's 4sure....

 

wrong.. depends on what trim u have.....like touring... they came with 18"s

 

well of course i didn't mean the 18".

 

My rationale was that the smaller wheels, being that they have softer sidewalls, yield better traction then the stiff walled sticky tires on the larger wheels. I know the Pilot Sports are great tires but they are 30 profile and a lot of $$$. But the bottom line is quicker times. Thanks for your responses. I'll probably run with the Pilot Sports but I might bring my Toyos. =/

 

Rays track wheels 03 "Z" on michelin

 

IMO a good track setup would be either LMGT4's or 18' Volk CE28's on 245/275 PS2's.

 

17x7.5" +33f 13.8lbs
17x8" +33r 14.2lbs
255/40/17 Falken Azenis 615's

 

Well, I took most of everyone's advice and ran with 19" Michelin PS's. My first 3 runs were horrible b/c I couldn't get any traction. My 60's were 2.24, 2.62, & 2.45 to yield mid to high 14s and 15 flat on the second run. My last 2 runs I decided not to power brake and got better 60's, 2.17 & 2.19 to run 14.3 on the last 2 runs. I was not really expecting a lot b/c of the wheels and it being summertime, but next time I'm going to try the stock 18"s.

 

Post your best time slip. Lets have a look.

 

ftw

 

Here's my timeslip:

 

Thanks. I think that the G35 is running good considering that its July.

 

Thanks David, I'll see if I can improve on my PB after I install the UR pulley and smaller wheels.

 

Is your car auto? What kind of PSI did you run in the tires?

 

My car is auto. And I was running at 26psi.
