Gadget got new wheels!!

[Gadget]

My rear tires were BALD and the fronts had lots of cracks in the sidewall. It was time for new tires.

I have been having a serious traction problem in the rear so I wanted more tire to stick the power. Of course that required a wider wheel...

So, here we are:

I followed K2's lead on the wheels and went with Varrstoen ES2 in HyperBlack with a staggered setup:

19x9.5 22mm offset 255-40-19 front
19x10.5 22mm offset 295-35-19 rear

Just got back from a test drive and it does have a bit more grip in the rear. Will get to test out the cornering at the upcoming event at VIR end of the month.

Clarify please.

Is this what you wanted?

Damn G. Looks killer!!!

Curious to see how your review is of them after some fun at VIR. Especially with those Michelin Super Sports.

Just helped a friend install some on his S7. They feel very sticky for a 300 count. :top: I heard that the R&D from their race tires went straight into these.

Super jelly, those are the sexiest wheels around! Nice fitment and tire size! What brand tire did you go with?

I ordered the same ones for swb back in feb and should be here next week, glad to see they look good!

 

[Gadget]

We will see.

I got them on Tirerack. Lots of options for the front size, but the rear was only ONE.

Looks like michelin pilot super sports.

Try Bridgestone RE-11a next time! And get a 305 on the rear!

Wanted to keep the same OD as the stock wheels.

This combo does it perfectly.

That makes sense. I thought you had some speedo re-calibrator for the t56 swap?

 

[Gadget]

Yep, that is correct. Still want to keep the stock OD on the tires.
