PLease let us know how you make out...
When you say +20 mm width, does that mean you are running RS width tires? ie. 265 and 325?
what size/brand tires are you using?
Car is coming together great!
Will do bud!
I'm running:
265/35/19 front
325/35/19 rear
Michelin Sport Cup 2's
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the clearance photo Phil posted certainly seems to show the rear lower link bolt flipped so that the head is towards the rear of the car. I haven't heard of any 19" fitment where this did not have to be done, Forgeline or otherwise, ceramic or iron rotors.
Even doing this, the clearance is minimal, perhaps 4-5mm to the bolt head from the inner dropwell of the rim, as can be seen. Flexing of the rim under high loads is enough to still possibly cause some contact of these parts, or a random pebble jamming between them, so keep an eye on the inner barrel for scoring after hard use.

Thanks for your points. FYI...the bolts came from the factory like that. We didn't change anything. ????
So far I'm signed up for 7 events (approx 14 track days) that will take me the middle of September.
I expect to signed up for more once I get a feeling of what I like/don't like, run groups, etc... Feel out the experience first.
And I'm not into showing my car. I'm a DRIVER!
Keep on rockin Phil! You are living the dream man, but i'm coming for you

PM heading your way as well. In the event you are interested in a set based off Phil's data, i'll be sure to have it duplicated for you.

Also met your SA Chris Bell from Conshohocken. Small world!
Was great seeing you Peter! You'll have to meet up with Phil and I at some point and see the car in person, it is outstanding haha
