There were not any cars that I met in our group that could shake me in the corners and I had a great view of an S2000 1 car length in front of me do a 180 while I was still glued. Watching him eye to eye as he slid backwards of the track while my sled went by was priceless.

Same experience. Great track tires. I also had a 3 series do a 180 in front of me as I was glued to him. He did nail the guard rail. Ouch! Like them on your OEM wheels much more.

But this combination of tires and wheels which are supposed to be a track set rub slightly with 2 in the car and constantly with 4 people inside. Any thoughts?

Rolling the fenders won't work. I think the offset is wrong. Do as the other members told you to. Anything else wouldn't be wise... or safe.

You could also cease to make sasquash logistics around town...hahaha!! J/k! (I don't even know you!)

cheers

'10 C63

sorry to bring an old thread back..

so the rear e55 wheels will fit on the back of the c63 but they stick out a bit...

someone above mentioned shaving the back pad a few mm to have it fit better...

i was thinking of using just the rears for drag radials since i have a friend with some e55 wheels he isn't using...

so is this possible?
