What wheel offset? 30 is a bit short. Should have zero issues with that tire depending on wheel offset.

19x9.5 +25

Yea that should be fine. Here is a 19x10 +28 (+40 with 12mm spacer) with a 275/35/18 tire

Your setup will actually have 3.4mm more clearance on the outside and 9.4mm more clearance from the strut.

V730 faster than RC1. Most tires are.

I definitely have to try them then! And being 200tw, they will give me the points needed. Not to bump up to the next racing class. I wasn’t a fan of the Nankangs compared to the RC1. Didn’t last, like you said, slid around more, & slower on Sebring’s rough surface.

Nankang CRS V2 for sure faster than RC1. If you didn't like them, you probably won't like the v730 either. All the top 200tw tires are faster than RC1.

Maxxis has a version 2 now. Maybe that makes a difference? The CRS wasn’t bad. Don’t get me wrong. It just didn’t give me as grippy of a feel at the limit or better times.

For the price, those Kuhmos sound great! Will definitely try a set out (or the RE71RS) after I go through my extra set of RC1 v2

RC1 V2 has been out for around six years now. ?

Fltrackdays knows his tires. I suggest you take a knee to someone who knows more.

After all, he has the backing of a RACE SHOP

Dammit. And that’s hilarious! There goes my theory of why I liked em better or why they were faster for me. Need to update their marketing material. I’ve been placebo driving all this time, lol.

What did you think of the updated buyer guide? Mostly accurate? So many tires I wanna try out now!

? Can you tell I liked my previous race shop & the one I’m at now? Especially after going to my local Toyota dealer.

And no offense to either of ya. I appreciate everyone’s advice. Only way I learn. I’d go to either of y’all’s “race shop” in a heartbeat, if I wouldn’t get kicked out so quickly for asking too many questions ? Remember the soup nazi on Seinfeld? In order to get the best soup in town, just had to keep your head down or “no soup for you!”

When you coming to Sebring Bobby Chuck? You’d love it!! Barber is def on my bucket list. Heard it’s well worth the drive.

Just giving you shit, you're fun.

Uhh. I don't go that far south. Also taking a year off to focus on other things (moving and whatnot)

Yeah it’s not close. That’s for sure. I’d have to rent a trailer. A friend put his on a train to Virginia. Drove around the mountains & VIR. That’s the way to go!!

Hopefully you’re still not waiting on that ECU to come back from Finland or she’s acting up after the process. That’s also on my bucket list. Someday….

I have read a bunch of posts on camber set up, but I am struggling to figure out best options for getting better camber.

I have pretty much stock set up, except roll bar, seats, harness and rear wing. I keep wearing out the outside of my front left and want to add more camber. I am not keen on camber plates as I drive of track, so I am thinking about adding lower control arms (probably getting verkline based on comments).

Do I also need to also add caster arms to be able to get best camber, or can I just go with the lower control arms?
