LMAO...I went as big as I could without extra work. 265/305 on the M560s. Prolly gonna kill my shot at 12's in the 1/4 mile but I'm leaning more toward "casual" road course runs now. (if there IS such a thing...)

best guess is about 40-45lbs more unsprung weight...just where you need it least. I have 2 shots at 12s. RE11s are almost 1 inch shorter (increasing effective gearing) and/or no more spinning on 1-2 and 2-3 upshifts with wider/stickier rubber, if that don't work, little brother weighs 70lbs less than me. lmfao
Been a fan of Road Atlanta for a long time and gonna do my best to make some laps there. Watching videos (and Forza...guilty pleasure) I can see where the mistakes are most common but still, this is my only car and I don't need to pancake her. (Saw an M3 last summer with the passenger side CRUSHED limping up I-85. DON'T want any of that)

wheel sizes and tire sizes? They are RE-11's so if they are over 285 its overkill.....unless your FI but if you are aiming for 12's im assuming you arent.

265/305 and I was sure they were overkill but should look good. Last drag day (first run after uprev...dyno indicated 313 rwhp and 265+tq from about 2200 rpm almost to redline) was on 1/8th mile BUT I picked up over 3/10ths and 3mph. with the stockers, that SHOULD have netted me a sub 13 1/4th mile run, however, I turned up the shift indicator by 200 rpm which resulted in SPIN on the 1-2 and a solid chirp on the 2-3 shifts (automatic trans) SOOO with the net GAIN in traction but the expected net LOSSES for the additional unsprung weight, I am in the dark as to what I should expect. I WAS looking at FI but after researching the subject, I'm not gonna risk damaging the trans. Besides, I am reminded that my pockets are nowhere near as deep as they need to be AND there is ALWAYS someone faster/richer so really, whats the point? Additionally, a net of 100-200 rwhp for the investment, I could buy a used C6 Z06, Viper or Porsche and still be faster. Tks anyway.
305 mm...thats like 12 inches of rubber....gonna make my condoms jealous for sure....lmfao
