Redd wroteI once ran the OEM 265/40ZR18 Michelin PSS on the front axle using OEM rear wheel (9.5X18 ET23). My car is (was) OEM ride height and those tires rubbed the inner liner only slightly with me in the car and the front tires on full lock. It's doable with the 265/35ZR19 IMO.Anyone running 265/35/19 tires up front? Does it rub bad? My wheels are Ray's ZE40 19x9.5 +22ET.
Redd wrotemy BBS E05 was 19x9.5 ET15 w/ 275/30/19 P4S and it was fine.Anyone running 265/35/19 tires up front? Does it rub bad? My wheels are Ray's ZE40 19x9.5 +22ET.
slighter smaller overall diameter on 275/30/19, 265/35 is like 23mm larger overall.
Fr camber was -3.2 at this point
Redd wroteFrom reading about the ability to run the ZCP wheels as a square set of 19x10, it seemed like the consensus was that 265/35 would rub slightly but 275/30 was fine.Anyone running 265/35/19 tires up front? Does it rub bad? My wheels are Ray's ZE40 19x9.5 +22ET.
OEM GTS wheel sizes were 255/35 285/30 on 19x9 19x10 for some frame of reference.

bipp wroteYeah I was very happy with 275/30/19 fronts for a 275 square configuration. But the tires I want don't come in 275/30/19 unfortunately. The closest is 265/35/19.From reading about the ability to run the ZCP wheels as a square set of 19x10, it seemed like the consensus was that 265/35 would rub slightly but 275/30 was fine.

those of you that have gutted cars and open trailers... did you keep your front windows? i want to toss them because racecar and weight, but am a little worried about showing up with soggy seats if i drive through rain or a puddle. what do you guys do?

kidding, kidding.if i keep the windows in then i gotta find somewhere to shove the window switches and associated wiring. the weight's a bonus. not the end of the world, but i thought if there was some way people were managing this that i hadn't thought of it'd be nice.

kolosy wroteI have lexan for the sides and rear. I made some window frames with 4 quick release fasteners and a small aluminum bracket inside the door to hold them from falling down. Frames are just some metal tubing with tabs welded on that bolts to the frame of the door. I only use them when the car is sitting at the track and its going to rain. Keeps the inside dry enough, would work well for towing as well.i didn't ask for rational advice, did I?

mikerunt wroteI race AER and WRL, you will regret selling this thing to go racing, trust me. I ended up doing what youre doing now and went back and bought another E92 and just cut back on the number of races I do a year. Race season starts next weekend at Pitt actually.My M3 is back up for sale - making the commitment to more endurance racing with the hopes of getting into WRL next year.
Shoot me some offers.

bipp wroteAbsolutely. My path into road racing is very non traditional. I visited the BMW M Performance Center for their two day M School with my dad in June 2018. I was recruited to go racing with a couple of their instructors after my two days there. I had a drifting and "light" autocross background but never had done HPDE or anything resembling W2W. My first event was at Watkins Glen in 2019. 55 cars on track and I was thrown into an ex Continental Challenge E92 M3. What an experience!Interesting, would you mind sharing more about your road into racing and then back into a street-ish car?
Seven years later I race primarily in AER (American Endurance Racing) but have done several WRL races. I race with a team based out of Columbus Ohio called Autoworx Motorsports, we focus on E34/E30/E36/E46 platforms. Here is my one of my favorite battles at VIR a couple years ago. Unfortunately, we lost that E30 at Road America the following year at the King.
Needless to say if you want to be smart about getting into either multi-class or spec series racing this is my advice......
1. Do many many HPDE events, get yourself up to the advanced group and practice.
2. Attend a racing school. BMW CCA does a good job from what I've heard and you don't need a full race car to attend.
3. Start small, try either Champ Car or Lemons. Learning at a slower pace makes the learning curve easier.
4. Once comfortable and you find pace in traffic and are consistent start looking to move up to AER or WRL.
The two series are the same but different. AER has many seasoned drivers but WRL has been printing money and you will see many many factory built GT4 cars. The drivers who can afford those seats aren't typically as talented as your grassroots driver and that causes issues. WRL has worked really hard to clean up racing and it's working but there is still room for improvement. Just look at a race control log for reference.
And the reason I race multi-class is for the action. This was at Road Atlanta two years ago with WRL where I had a batlle with 3 different classes of cars and other classes coming and going in between (skip to about 11 mins). Nothing else hits like this and I think the best drivers in the world have multi-class experience in the resume.
Damn. Been a while. Happy to see this still going.
I have a chunk. Is my sway bar pointed down too low aka end link is too long?
Thanks!
