Your 17" choice vs say 18" surprises me. I have nothing against 17's and they IMO work well/good with our age of cars, but, my thinking is, 17's will eventually become the new 15's , limited tire selection. I am not sure how long that trend will/could continue, but I have been wrong before. Just making a substantial investment in maybe non resell-able rims in a size that may become scarce, makes me pause. Thoughts?


I'm with Helmuth Hübener, and no soup is being served today.

You are correct jcc,
Most performance sizes are in 18 inch. I will be running a 255/40-17 which is still a very popular extreme performance tire size for many imports.

The 17 inch wheel size I'm getting for my S2K will still be able to sell if I ever decide to with this set of Forgelines. Supply and demand, the market will always dictate what sells.

Hey Samy,
It's more like $5k for the monoblock wheels, very expensive.
It is one of the reasons why I am trying to work with Forgeline to setup a group buy.

I can go on & on about how awesome the wheels are, how the customer service is great, blah blah blah, but at the end of the day the high price will always deter most people.

RylisPro -- Your car looks awesome! Let us know if they rub under racing conditions.

Thanks guys!
There seems to be no rubbing yet Mitch. From preliminary testing around my local mountain roads there is no rubbing on the tires anywhere as evidenced by the tire injection "hairs" still being intact.

You can see them in the pic and all four tires are still like that. I haven't pushed the tires at all maybe about 45-50 mph in a turn? I'll definitely post pics when I'm at the track again!

315's work! Confirmed at the Carousel in Sonoma Raceway and the Corkscrew at Laguna Seca

No damage to my fenders, no rubbing or hitting, not even close!

It's funny you say that Samy!
I think that 335's would definitely fit in the rear. There is tons of clearance out back once one folds the fender lip up. Having 335's might actually cure my slight oversteer issue. Loose is fast though as they say.

335's in the front is another matter though as one would need a 12" wheel up front and that would be a really expensive experiment, if it fits...

I'm very happy with a 315 square setup though!

Loose is fast and on the edge of "Out of control"
Harry Hogg, Days of THunder.

Loose is also unpredictable. I'd prefer LOOSE in a drift car and a little tight in a track car.

Maybe I'm missing this, but what backspace are you running up front and with or without any spacers?

Thanks, Wes

What are the specs on your current wheels?

Hey Samy!
I don't give out the specs to my wheels due to all the variation with suspension parts, fender clearance, leaf spring location etc. Even with E-bodies there is great variances between the Cuda vs Chally, any car built in the 70's for that matter.

The specs on my wheels really only fit my setup with 295 tires and also need a few millimeters more to get the "perfect" offsets for 315's. I actually found out that on hard cornering the 315's just barely rubs on the rear leaf springs. I'm going to need to use 3mm spacers as well as rolling the rear fenders for these current wheels. My next setup of wheels will have corrected offsets for 315's R-comps.

If I gave out my specs it doesnt really help anybody and I wouldn't want to get blamed for not fitting their car. One has to get a ruler and measure for their specific application. As always I will help you or anyone else with the correct sized wheels to get the maximum amount of tire underneath.

Why cant I see the photo's? I am very interested in seeing if I can get 315's under my car.

Here's my set up http://www.moparts.org/Tech/Archive/rearsusp/12.html

I run 15X10" wheels with 6" of backspace
