Race Tracking Your Supra - Information exchange

[tomfree]

I can't speak for a 10, but my 18x10.5 et35 need a spacer. I run 15mm hub centric spacers all around with long lug studs. I've done DEs, time trials, and W2W races with spacers over the years and had good luck. When I took the rear wheels off my bone stock 944 years ago...and found a spacer, I ceased to worry.

I can respect that you don't care for spacers, but it will REALLY limit how much tire and wheel you can get under the car without spending megabucks for custom wheels with the perfect offset.

10 wide up front with an offset of 30 will clear the stock spring perch.

Those running club racers at the edge can try moving to a pmu 777/999 pad. At the current exchange rate you can get them for cheaper than the club racers.

Almost harder to get than Club Racers. Last time I checked I was given a six month ETA.

Apex 18x10 fit with no spacers and also fit big brake kits. 275/35/18 work well with no rubbing.

Tried to order EBC RP-X to test this summer as well, been waiting for 2 months, no news on my order...

Starting to wonder if i'm going to end up doing the summer on stock pads or in my GR86...

Loved the 999s. If you find a place that has them, let us know!

I’m on that wait list

Has anyone previously or currently run a square tire setup? How has the handling characteristics changed on the Supra?

Looking to downsize to 18"s and heavily considering a square setup but would love some personal feedback before deciding on wheel widths.

Depends on what you are doing it for. Feels good on either. Will you be only tracking? I run my 18 square setup for track (6 months). Saves money being able to rotate, get the tires I want (more options at a better price), and then go back to the OEM wheels during the off season. The OEM wheels have the tires they came with - better suited for rain. The Apex fitment guide is fantastic.

Might be OK for the summer, but my experience with those pads is awful. Looking for a pad that is not so noisy on the street and those were crazy noisy.

I can testify that the SM-RS 18" ET30 with Maxis RC-1s work but I had to remove the rubber on the perch. Very tight but fine.
