Anyone actually running 315's on 19x11 square? There seems to be no off the shelf wheel options. Thinking of going full STU but nothing short of forgestars (kinda heavy) seem

19x11 square for stu
Anyone actually running 315's on 19x11 square? There seems to be no off the shelf wheel options. Thinking of going full STU but nothing short of forgestars (kinda heavy) seem to be available.

It should work, Hotrodz is using 18x11 square for road course, but you need a low offset like +18.

ForgeLines. Make any rim spec you want. One of the lightest and strongest rims. Order now to have them by spring.

If you want to spend some money TE37's can be had in 18x11 +18.
For much less $$$, you can get a set of Forgestar F14's 18x11's made to the offset you want. Also, don't confuse Forgestar with Forgeline. Forgeline wheels like Rusty suggested are higher quality but also much more money. For autox, Forgestars aren't a bad option. fwiw I run 18x12 Forgestar F14's wrapped in 335's on my autox car.

Unsure your suspension setup; but most run 18” wheels to keep overall wheel diameter a bit smaller for clearance 19x11 would work with either a 295/30 or 305/30 (26—26.3”) But definitely with an adjustable suspension

I want the 19's due to the dimeter of the tires available. Presently running the 285/35/19 on the OE nismo wheels, which gets me 67 mph in second and 123 in 4th which works out well for me as I just get to the rev limiter of 4th in two places on my local track (NCM). STU limits width to 11" and 315's so I'd like to be able to run 315's on 11's, at least for autocross.
The car came with stillen gen 3 cai. So for autoccross I'm bumped to STU, for Time Trails, unless they change it, the nismo gets bumped to S2. I figure I may as well build the car for STU which puts me in T3 for TT. Podium T3 cars last year were slower than S2, the Nismo does not belong in S2, and I've told Jon I added the hotchkis front bar and Koni sports all around, carbotech Xp12/10 pads. car came with megan Y pipe, ISR catback with the resonator cut out. The car will also be getting amber arms and coil overs (not sure which ones yet). loads of options foreverythign else, the wheels choices are few. The clutch while it isn't a real problem yet I figure Id replace the clutch, csc etc in the off season which makes it a good time to do headers and high flow cats, LSD and either add a resonator or replace the exhaust completely (it drones, but does meet sound restrictions for the track) Last edited by Evildky; 12-28-2020 at 01:23 PM.

My brother has CF1 open lug for his Mustang, I don't know what he hit, but maybe it was a small stones, as they didn't left any mark on his car anywhere else, but the result two small bent on two wheels also, they were heavier than my ZE40, both wheels 19x10.5 (mine +22 and his +32)

You also may want to check the STU rules as last I knew clutches had to remain OE. Also you'll find the xp12/10 combo is overly agressive for autox. Might want to think about swapping pads between autox and track duty.

I'm pretty familiar with the rules. The clutch and csc to go in is a stock. Yes these pads are a bit more aggressive than most seem to like in this chassis, I ran 12's front and rear on my 350Z (GT). This chassis gets way twitchy with that much rear bite, also the larger akebono's and the OE abs don't seem to know what to with this much bite either. I'm used to the aggressive pads at autocross, anything less, is well, less. |

Two of my friends also got forgeline for their cars, and I am thinking about getting them for my TT, we got a pretty good deals on them from custom wheels for less.

From what it sounds like he is not really looking for advice or any other recommendations. It seems he wants conformation of his own idea and so far there is no one on the forum or any circles I know of that is running 19x11 for any kind of autocross or track use. I guess that is not enough evidence for him to do something different than he is thinking.
