After reading this Thread I had to pull the trigger. With my friend a fellow RL'ER WE BOUGHT THIS. We both have a decade of track experience each in High HP cars and momentum cars. I have for ten years tracked an NA Elise. But this track car ( primary use) will be an exciting addition to the stable. Thanks CJ and others for the juice that made us pull the trigger.

or PM me.
if hoosiers are a no-go, perhaps we can do IMSA continental slicks. I will inquire. if not, makes sense to buy stock in Kumho...

I received a price for the factory wheels at $4950 a set. What is the advantage of the Forgeline wheel?

John B at Parts Rack has OE wheels for $2449. johnB@PartsRack.com
I have no affiliation. You can find him as a sponsor at the Viper Owners Assoc website. Look under the wheels and tires thread.

The problem isn't slicks for slick's sake, but rather ANY tire that will fit??? There is NOTHING out there is the problem.

So, I'm picking up from your post to use -3 camber fronts? Did you do anything to rear? What about shock settings, bump and rebound?
I have disappointing news... spoke to Forgeline yesterday and it doesn't appear that Hoosier is even close to making a mold to fit the Viper? Before I bought another set of wheels, I wanted to make sure. So, it looks like all we have is the OEM Ecstas for now. Hope no one else out there is looking to pick any tires up? I just bought last two sets out from Tire rack and their Nebraska warehouse yesterday in prep for Sebring.![banghead](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/banghead.gif)

You can easily use R7: Front 295/30/19 or 315/30/19
Rear 345/30/19
Minor ride height adjustments and you're there. This is a great set-up
Best, Allan

I can only speak for myself, but as I've stated on other posts my parameter is a STOCK car, from production by the factory. Getting into a "race car" is limitless as far as what you can do, to include a Ferrari Challenge (that one can buy for barely more than this ACR).

Agree, would be great if the made the exact tire sizes and suspect for the ACR, enough of them will burning up tires. I would definitely buy.

Won't the fronts rub w/ the modest increase in profile? Also, doesn't giving up the modest width for the rear mitigate the benefit of Hoosier vs. Kuhmo for grip?
Alan, have you actually tried this yet? Please share your experience if you have? I hear you frequent AMP pretty frequently?
