those are more on smaller end of what should be used for those size tires. There will be more pinching than if running a 10" front and 11.5" rear, which are more ideal widths for those tire sizes.
One of the fastest local supras in region for example, runs a 315 on a 12" wheel.

2021 with 81k miles. Been driving it for past 5 years even in winters. Checked oil level other day with no issues, and have done 25+ track days in last 2 years.
Not sure on my build date, but I took delivery in December of 2020.
Might start buying parts to add to list of maintenance to do next...
Looks like there might be another alternative now. While I have not been a fan of Optima batteries in the past, seems like this new tech could be promising.
OPTIMA ORANGETOP Lithium Car Battery, QH6 - 880 CCA, 45ah
And nice to see Bimmerworld has had a role in development with it
I was initially on the fence about XHP since no one has ever provided any feedback on it and didn't want to be the guinea pig to try it out. Glad someone finally took the plunge to let everyone know...
Working in electronics manufacturing, one of my processes was circuit card assemblies/printed wiring boards adhesive bonding.
Definitely recommend using the oven method. 175C or even up to 200C for shorter bursts is good for breaking many adhesive bonds, but not hot enough to reflow/remelt...
Pretty crazy, but isnt first time I've seen it happen. Some people just suck at managing time/costs.
Living in Houston during the early 2000's, I remember same shit happened with Hennessey and the Dodge Vipers in his shop. Now, somehow it all blew over and he's a household automotive "brand".
Yeah, with the Club Racers, I feel like if you're bedding them in on the streets, definitely be more on aggressive side.
I thought I bedded them in before a trackday, but during 1st session was getting the awful juddering. Took rest of day to finally bed them in good enough.
Oddly enough, ran into similar issue with my 335i with the N54 motor.
Started to get knocking noise, then hoped to replace the pulley only (similar to how the B58 ac compressor is designed) and snap ring also snapped off the lip for retainment. In last ditch effort, tried using bearing specific...
I've used DTC-60's in my old s2000, and did like them for the price (mainly since I used to have lots of friends in community that ran with NASA, and would give me their vouchers for free pads since they all preferred Carbotechs/G-locs), but dont want to run them in Supra since I average 1...
Unfortunately, the 999's cant be ordered anymore.
Another local and I tried earlier this summer, and Project Mu is discontinuing them.

Side note, another pad combo that we found works pretty well on track (for us at...
any reason for unchecking those 3 modules?
I've coded out EDC on other BMW's through Protool, and when it prompts all the modules that need to be recoded to the new VO, I have always let it recode all the modules instead of unchecking any.
I may be wrong, but I believe unchecking them, forces...
If weight savings is main concern, why not just go lightweight battery?
Our stock battery is a fucking pig, and I want to say a lightweight battery can shed close to 50lbs?
