exactly!

the offsets on the MB's have recently changed though yes...

I run MB weapon 17x9 +17 up front and 17x9+27 in rear on 275 with no spacers for autoX:



Drifting i add a 20mm spacer in the rear with the +27 wheels and go with a 245 tire usually.

The other MB wheel for autox in 17x9 would be "MB Competitions"

The MB weapons are 21 lbs too by the way..

Lol V3's. This car is going out to Cali next year to get in on Redline time attack. They will get plenty of use. I just need to raise them a bit when the time comes. Camber kits and Brembo GT BBK (In gold, thank you Brembo) will be coming soon, so I will raise it back up then. Just have to decide on what wheels to get.

Im planning on making a thread, that way we can support that club and they can continue to afford to host events, but i may not be able to make it. Im looking into it.
