    New Wheels - Staggered Setup, Turbo Race Car

    I thought you all might like to see the newest wheels we've added to the race car. They're 17x7.5 in front and 17x9 in back and fit with no spacers. These are hub centric, 4x100 for native E30 fitment. The 17x9's won't fit without some fender modifications.

    That's mean looking. Are the rears 255/40/17? What are you running up front?

        Define skinny. We're running 235/40/17 in front. There are a few reasons we went staggered:

        * Problems with fitment when we had the 255's up front
        * Weight and wheel bearing wear
        * Given our HP & torque we need the wider tires in the back to help with traction

        The car is neutral in this config and we're getting good tire temps across the front and rear tires.
