Not really! That's very fast! My best is a low 1:42 - need power! I think it's a very high 1:30 car with a competent driver:

Nice! Definitely many moons ago - Marlboro advertisements! I drove my gabillion horsepower 300ZX twin turbo there first. It was not a fast-lap car (1:46), but it sure zipped into T2, approaching the #4 brake marker at ~135mph. Yikes!

I ran the track before it was reconfigured in the early 90's. Turn after the front straight had a huge pucker factor...like entering a closet at 100MPH at the end of the front straight.
Yes..I'm an ol' fart guys...actually ran Riverside

T2 still has a huge pucker factor - one goes barreling in at 110, 120, (150!)mph, and has to do a complete u-turn.

Anyone rocking 295/35, 18x10.5 +15 on all four corners, I'm thinking of 2 different setups and that's one of them.

Have pictures?

I have seen someone with 285/30/18 on all fours with 15mm spacer out back making it +0 rear +15 front, sits perfect in my book......not sure if it was in this site.

I'm trying to go with a wide, grippy, meaty stance, if I have rubbing issues in the inside il just add some spacers, body mods is the easy part since I will not be slamming it but I still might have to roll and do a slight pull.

The issue is the front. Rear you can run a 305. I have a 10 mill spacer in the back. I wanted a square set up so the spacers help the rear look good. As for the front no spacer will help. I'm touching the inside arm very lightly and the fender under compression

Trying to grasp this. I run the RPF1 up front or NT03 up front, and have no issue with inner clearance. My tire is not close to the arm and there is no way for it to touch the arm under compression or rebound. I'm also running 285/35-18 in the front, seems like a non issue.

On my NT03 I would remove the 10mm spacer and run a 5mm spacer to further reduce inner clearance and still be good

Yeah mine touches. I'don't take a picture if I had the car. Like I said it's very lightly. Leaves a light clean mark on my inner arm. And when my wheels are straight ni problems in my fenders. But when going up say a steep hill with the wheel turned my wheel gets stuck in the fenders and I need to power over it get the car to get up the hill. I have a +22 offset


I've seen people go more aggressive and have less problems idk why

Are you rubbing on the upper somehow, or are you talking about rubbing on the compression arm. Maybe your stops were cut for more steering angle

Not that I know of


The inner arm is so barely touching that I've had no problems and I can't even tell on the tire. It's just a small clean spot.

I was running nt03 18x10.5+30 square 275/35/18, 275/40/18 and added a 5mm spacer on the front and 15mm on the rear to make them +25/+15. Never had any issues rubbing. Sat nice and flush with the front and rear fenders.

I'll be getting the BF Goodrich g-force T/A KDW tires. Wanna do a square setup of 285 40/18 and would like to know if I'll have any issues up front. Current setup now is 255 40/18 all round, fronts have no spacers and rears have a 8mm spacer.
