GT2 camber?
#16
FYI, had some slight rubbing issues at the front with 245 hoosiers. This setup will NOT work with stock suspension. I hear from Mike Kelly that the adjustable caster links will take care of the problem by moving the wheel rearward, but haven't tried it yet.

Hey Shilling, with a setup like yours do you know how wide you could go on street tires and 18's? I know many street tires are different, but a round about guess would be great. I think some people can run 265' and 315's or is that a no go?

I am not sure about ANY of this on a TT though.. just the GT2.

it was rubbing on the front of the fenderwell on the black plastic liner as well as on the front metal edge of the fender itself (cut the tire some). I rolled the fenders a little more, but it still was rubbing. I raised the ride height, still rubbed. I think it's a castor issue.

Thanks Shilling.
I wonder how different the TT is on a fitment like that, because that would be a nice setup. Just curious, but with the weight distribution like it is, is there a point where the wider tire in front isn't really gaining you anything? Or in this application, bigger is better applies?

I will be trying a Hoosier R6 in 255/18-35 size which just so happens to have the exact same tread width as their 275, but with a shorter sidewall. If I can't make that work, then I will stick to my 245's in front.

Given that you have the identical wheel tire combo I have, I am surprised that you are having an issue. Unless you are 300 lbs plus.. Then you might..

Seriously though, the last time I was at Laguna, I had a TINY, TINY amount of touching at the front fender liner, but I only found out about it because I parked in the pits with my wheels cranked all the way to the right.. at that point, I saw it touching the fender liner, but I most definitely don't have an issue with the fenders...
Let us know if changing your caster helps... I just had my caster dialed back to 7.8 degrees, since it had gone to 8.3 due to the camber increases.
I also have different suspension components than you and have had my struts rotated etc, so that might be one area that could be enough to cause the difference between our Cars.

Let us know how it goes.

I was asking Mike Kelley about the castor links, but I wanted to ask the GT2 guys if I need them before ordering? Anyone know if the castor can be properly set on a GT2 with rotated spring mounts without the aftermarket castor links?

You will need the adjustable caster links.. I had mine installed a couple of weeks ago to offset the increase caused by my additional camber.. My caster had gone to 8.3 degrees and needed to be adjustaed back to 7.5.. Decreasing caster will make the Car steer faster and take the wheels back fronm the inner fender wells at the front..

TRG (the Racer's Group) has a fantastic selection of parts for our cars.. They run ALMS etc.. they won Le Mans and Daytona as well, so they really know what works..
