Barische's Car Build

Also picked up 2 - used w/ 90% tread RE-11 (235/45/17)..

So should i put the re11 or re070 on front.. Keep in mind the re070 are 225 but tend to run larger.

I was thinking of using the re11 on front, i think the front staggered setup will work better i gotta go home n measure the contact patch width.

That wheel/tire combo looks real nice. And i agree with the black blending all in and looking like a >17" wheel. I wish i went this route instead of purchasing a new set of A/S michelins last year. I recently picked up a used set of oem audi 16" wheels w almost brand new star specs Z1s for $250. I was wondering what PSI are you running w your Z1s? Daily vs autox/track?

Thanks

Daily 38-40psi

Auto-x and canyons - usually lower to about 35-38 psi hot

So maybe start at 33psi cold see where end up at at the end of 1st n 2nd session.

May need to run higher psi to prevent rolling over. Are u lowered whats ur suspension mods.

My tires r done btw so about to throw on those bridgestones

Cool, thanks. Suspension is stock. Because it's a 16" wheel, tire is 225/50, so maybe 35 or so should be a good starting point. That's interesting that you run a higher pressure for DD.

Props on the route you took with your car, and btw.. that side pic above is really sick/mean!
