Unfortunately they don't make them in 19's as far as I can tell.

I looked too a while ago....not in 19 for ra1

One of these days I need to order a set of those OZ Alleritas in 18's that I had on the 996. They were great.

Izzone

Ccw in daytona makes a nice reasonable priced 18" wheel

I picked mine up there, met John, he has a real impressive shop

deputydog95

Yeah, John does a great job and its an excellent product. However, the OZ's IMO look better. And they're also about a 1000 bucks less... I would also better they're a few pounds lighter as well

I tracked them in the 996 and they were great. Nothing wrong with CCW too. They have a stellar rep. Only drawback to OZ is that in 18's you have to get a 8.5 front and a 12 rear instead of the preferable 9" front. No biggie though.

however, i am not familiar with the sizing needs on your car.

also, 8.5" front is TOO narrow. you NEED 9 or even 9.5

train her to work from home.
then when she's done working, cook, clean garage and maintain your car.

mia now washes wheels and brooms the garage
max "tries" to wax, still needs training.
tried to vacuum his hair off his head!!!

soon i will teach them to do bleeds and oil change.

wife is hopeless. she can't do car work. but works hard as doctor. that's good.

ccw is a way better wheel than OZ. it is forged, hubcentric, usually perfectly balanced and quite strong. you get a lot for extra $1K plys really if you wait long enough you will find somebody selling their CCW sets, used ones go for $2K top.

utkinpol

in case of toyo RA1 all you get for fronts are 245 tires, unless one can fit 275 there.

245 tire looks like a candidate for 8.5 rims.

i really liked those v700 kumhos I ran on last season, for AX they worked fine -compound was very soft and had a lot of grip but on track front tires got melted after first 2 sessions in 85 deg weather and lost about of 2/32" of tread in one day, sizing was 265/335 and compared to other sizes car was most stable on this rubber, at least for AX wider is better no matter what.

those RA1 logically should work best in 245/305 on 8.5" fronts 11" rear rims
but to mount 305 tire on a 12" rear rim does not seem to have much sense, 245/335 tires combination also looks kinda weird, so, I am not sure if that tradeoff is worth it.

I have right now new v700 (v70a) kumho 265 for fronts with half wasted 335shaved rears, set of new R888 rubber in 255/335 and those RA1 in 245/335. Will see next season which set will work best on my 9"/12" rims.

Why do I need a much wider front? Stock sizes are 235/35-19 and 305/30-19, 8.5" and 12" respectively on a standard GT3. I was considering moving down to 18" wheels but maintaining the same widths.

FFaust

Ok, I've got to start paying attention here

^ I would venture that you need to fit as wide a tire in the front as you can to minimize the inherent tendency of the design to understeer... but I'll let the experts chime in.

mdrums

You can run what most GT3's run 255/35/18 and 315/30/18....wider, lowers the car and lowers the gearing too.

mdrums

It's a track wheel...the CCW's look fine...check out the new CCW Y2k polished...I was going to sell my CCW's for those...better balanced and stronger than those pretty boy cast OZ wheels. Come on now Andrew.....

mooty

1. isn't your stock rim 9"? or is it 8.5"
2. if oem is 8.5 i suppose you can keep it at that width.
3. i prefer wider front b/c all gt3's push. on a narrow body 996 gt3, i run 9.5" with 12" rear (and i actually like my car to push a LOT more than most ppl.) so for me a 8.5" front simply will not turn. i can barely get the car turn in fast enough with 9.5"
