From the video he had some serious problems keeping the pointy end forward while braking....seems to be a theme of gallardo's at the high speed events.

That's the real question. What would be the ideal offset to fit an 11.5" wheel with a 315 tire with the fenders cut of course?

It is difficult to run a "strong" offset with real tires.....without doing a total hack job on the fenders.....sorry, even in the stretch thread there isn't a decent fender pull in there.

its not the offsets, its the lack of aggressiveness. A lot of the cars here arent even lowered, making their wheels look more aggressive than they really are. Most just run weak offsets with semi fat tires. But i see what your saying, my car is on here somewhere back when i had fatty tires I know how hard it is, but people need to realize this is fat and AGGRESSIVE thread lol.

I think my set up is pretty fat aggressive and low... just sayin'. Not running305's or anything though. But for a daily na set up, I think 285's are adequate.

yea you dont need to run real fat tires or have negative offsets to be truely qualified for this thread. YOU KNOW if your car is aggressive (cliffrlp yours def. is one of them), and you have to admit a lot of the cars on here don't really deserve to be on this thread. This is probably why the stretched tire thread is a bigger hit, bcs 99% of the cars there qualify for that specific title.

Yea, that's my only thing with the fat tires...I want to go lower but don't want -6 camber! lol Plus my rear is as low as it'll go on the bilstiens...

Either way, maybe the next set of wheels i'll change up the look!
