I am waiting on the answer from Nobody2u on measurements like I just posted. Then I can see what is possible.
Hey, sorry I was on a 12 hour road trip across Nova Scotia today, just getting home late tonight. I will see about getting measurements tomorrow.

If you run R tires and YYZ springs at the track, the cornering speeds will be much higher, and you really need to make sure you run your cars to the exact correct oil level and check it after every session. Without a trap door oil pan you risk starving the oil pickup in the wet sump and that is very bad karma.

Im in the process of saving some money and getting some different rims for the track and probaly getting some track tires...nothing like slicks or that....what tire would you recommend....only requirements are DOT approved and I can run on the street during the summers here in southern califorina....maybe in the range of a 100-180 treadwear rating....

Ask your neigbors, usually they are left with someone near by. The box these come in dont exactly look like a high theft item.
