Slightly lowered on GC school kit with -2.5 (f) and -2.0 (r)

I may try 255/275 if I later step down to a sticky street but happy with this fitment so far.
Wow, gotta compliment you on this car. It looks the business, especially with the hardtop!

Didn't have to roll the rear did you?

Nope 265 is pretty conservative. But then again I’m not slammed neither so hard helps...

That's great. I think your ride height is also spot on. Big fan of the way this car looks! I'll definitely keep this in mind.

F360C,
Love the look. Want to go square setup for canyon/track use. I like 275/35/18 setup you have. What suspension setup do you have. Any fender rolling, etc. Does it rub on street?

Thank you sir!

I am running MCS and the blue car is running Ground Control. Tiny bit of fender rolling in the front and rear on both. Both are -3.3 front camber. My car runs a 5mm spacer in the front for strut and brake caliper clearance. With the EC7's and the GC suspension on the blue car you can get away without a spacer if you dont run the car super low. If you do run the 5mm spacer you can run the car a lot lower with the Ground control suspension vs the MCS.

The cars are both very stiff (750lbs front springs and 850lbs rears) so they dont rub a ton on the the street. Just a bit here and there with bit dips, off camber parking garage entrances, etc but its not terrible. A 265 front would def fit with out issue but I like the extra grip on track.

lovely setup.... would you expect this to rub alittle ?

currently running 18x8.5 et29 with 235/35-18 18x9.5 et23 265/30-18 on an r comp tyre. i can just and i mean just glance the front inner fender at maximum attack on a track, it doesn't rub through the fender given how light the contact is , im running an aggressive track geo with lots of neg camber.

i see these setups and they look amazing but i wonder can the car be driven properly without eating itself . what would you recommend , id love a set of forged 8rc.

also whats the lead times for the UK on the forged 8rc line in brushed clear.

Perhaps I missed the memo, but I noticed not many SM-10 wheels sizes are available anymore for Z4 sizing. Are they discontinuing the series?

None of our SM-10s have been discontinued in any fitments that I'm aware of. Do you have a specific size and offset you're looking for?
