Since I don't want to be the laughing stock in the class I'll be placed in (QM I believe, Street Modified)
I figure I will have to step up to the plate and get a second set of rims and tires for auto-x (time trialing sooner or later...okay, much later) car has stock fenders, I do not want to add flares, but I am open to the idea of rolling the fenders or pulling/bumping them out slightly Current rims are 16x7 under stock fenders running 205/45/16's (40mm offset rims) |

Am i missing something? Class Qm is not a 914 class...
Other than that, it sounds like you are doing something very similar to myself. I'm sticking with stock fenders but am looking for a good wheel/tire combo that works in my class. For better or worse i'm currently in super-production (Fx) -- i'd like to be demoted to production (Fm) but the rules for tires/wheels are the same eithe rway. Which means i can either run .25" track increase with 7" wheels, OR i can run .5" track increase with 6" wheels. I'm choosing the first option, but i haven't found a tire/wheel combo in my price range that fits under the fenders on a stock 4-bolt setup. Keeping in mind i also have to stick with 15" of course. |
