Having a dedicated set of track tires would be ideal, but since I've only ever gone to the track once and only have the intention of going for more (with no concrete plans yet), I'd be afraid I'm not getting my money's worth out of them. I've been on the stock wheels for about 4 years now in Montreal with no real issues. They still somehow look great after barrelling through all the craters I've been unable to avoid. I have a second set of wheels already for winters and they've been holding up pretty well. They're the same size/tire setup as stock. Sanair is alright - it's a layout that takes you through different driving surfaces, it's bumpy, and there's a sketchy point where you turn into the drag strip and need to avoid a concrete barrier in the middle while coming out of the turn that separates the two lanes of the drag strip. It was great to learn at for my first track day for sure. However I'd like to try doing a more traditional track like at iCar Mirabel or Calabogie out near Ottawa. But you get what you pay for - Sanair is cheap and you just go and figure it out for yourself whereas at iCar and Calabogie it seems they force the lessons and instructors on you and make you do it properly. At a premium price at that. Sanair track days are at about $100 for a full day. I managed to get a more experienced guy in my car for my first session and he showed me where to look and when to start turning/accelerating. The track also had some markers painted on the road to show the optimal line through the turns as well. |

Been searching for a while for a unicorn tire: a small 15" all-terrain.
Finally got hold of the Maxxis Bravo AT-771 205/65r15 If you can find 'em they fit... but there's a touch of rub at full lock. Lift springs & lightbar coming shortly |

Installed an ADF 1" lift on my BRZ this weekend, hopefully will be able to get an alignment done in the next week or so to help work out whether or not I can pair it with the RCE lift springs and not end up with positive camber in the rear with the OEM lca's. Also thinking about maybe swapping out my Blizzaks for some Nokian WRG4 all weather tires for year round use, would be interested to know if anyone on here has experience running that sort of tire on dirt and gravel.
Anyways, on to some pics: First two with stock wheels and 225/45R17 Michelin PSS's Last two with 16" Sparco Terra's and 205/55R16 Blizzaks |

Anyone know if the diamond racing wheels in 15" clear our stock brakes?

I don't know, man. I'll ask my cousin Joe, he's a mechanic. He would know more about this than I do.

Try playing with this tool. Edit: Nvm, it doesn't have the caliper modeled.

Bump.
Our RCE Rally lift springs are coming very soon and I just sold my old winter wheels/tires. Getting ready to pull the trigger on my Enkei RC-G5 rally wheels. Either: 15x6.5 with 195/65/15 or 15x7 with 205/65/15. Both +35 offset. Better gearing and possibly better performance on dirt with the 195s. Little bit of extra height with the 205s (but possible rub?). I was planning on 195s for gravel tires but this set at least will be winters. Maybe another set in the future for dedicated gravel tires. I'll decide soon! - Andrew |
