We have been working very closely with HRE and our Track Package setup so we can't wait to get this project done with thorough testing scheduled at Thermal.
Stay tuned for more info....
Both of the RS's in this video where on stock wheels with MPSCII's and that tire is extremely limiting for full track potential....

I've been running 19" Forgeline wheels for a few months with no problems at all.
Car for sure feels faster on the 19" wheels vs 20.
I run 265/35 + 325/30
I dont want to fill the thread up!
Good luck.
Josh
Your setup looks great, Josh. By chance do you have any lap times 19" vs. 20"? I'd be curious to see if you've seen an advantage outside of "feels faster". Even so, additional confidence in the car/setup is a nice gain if nothing else.
Looks great Josh. 19 in wheels should weigh less, and with 265/325 there will be more rubber. What tires have you found that have these sizes? Trofeo R and MPSC2 both have that size. Another plus, the overall tire diameter does shrink, so you will have an effective change in Ring/Pinion.

Hoosier R7s 265/325 on 19's. I believe the best track set up yet. Please give as much feedback as you can. I don't see 265 on tirerack for R7s. New size?

Will do. Might be a couple of months. I want to burn up the set of Cup 2's I have.
I don't know why the 265 is not listed on TR. They can and do order them in that size. Best to check Hoosier's site for size info.

Car feels more planted, more grip. I don't know if it was driver improvement or what, but I shaved off .5 off my lap times from 20" vs 19" same brand tires.
