Gravel makes it slightly more rwd, snow makes it slightly fwd, but it its not nearly as good in snow mode as tarmac

Cliff my tires were never bald. They just dont handle well in snow.

I’ve decided after more reading that to protect my awd system, 18x9.5 all the way around should be enough, with a good tire, for autocross and daily driving. I’m not aty limerock with this car doin 70 around curves. The offset tires ARE better, track proven, for handling BUT it does tear at AWD components. I’mma upgrade next year to 4 18x9.5.

Enough with the bashing, wheel suggestions welcome. I DO NOT WANT RPF-01’s so dont bother. Lemme know thoughts. I’m leaning towards dark gray, not gloss or flat black.

What are you driving on the track, a lawnmower??? Lots of the turns there in the car I was in were well above that! If you never had the chance to ride in a prepped race car on a real track, you have NO idea what its like! If you think your king shit on the roads and can white knuckle a turn around the lake, or bash some cones in a parking lot… multiply that by 10 and you might make a lap around LRP! The driver I was with was up shifting and burying it in a turn, where in my head I would have been on the brakes to make the turn! Holy shit I wish I could do that more often!

And different offsets have FUCKING NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR AWD SYSTEM! didnt you read/comprehend a single thing I/we have been saying?

you can run 12" wide rear wheel and a 6" wide front, as long as the goddamn tire diameter is the same your driveline wont know a fucking thing has changed!

**First order of business, fully understand the platform your working with and the mechanical workings in it… only then modify when you proven that your attempting to make those things do something they cant!**

yeah my brother rode with him too when I saw you up there. Then he rode with Dick C and came out of the car looking like he saw a ghost. “Holy shit he drove the balls off it compared to Bruce!”

Bruce is an excellent driver. His car has zero power but produces incredible g-forces.

He was getting passed by mad cars on the straights and then passing those same cars in the corners. :rofl
