track/daily wheels on! Apex + Hankook RS3 245/265

randomquickness · 08-09-2010, 04:16 PM

I finally got these mounted and adjusted the ride height/camber so I'm not scraping the tires! Here a few pics from a meet this past weekend, I'll go snap some more in a bit.

MarkR171 · 08-09-2010, 04:36 PM

Any more info on suspension/camber for fitting 245s in front?

randomquickness · 08-09-2010, 04:43 PM

I have kw v1's and -1.5 front camber as well as rolled fenders. To get the extra camber in the front I had a race shop drill out my upper shock mounts about 5-6mm and had it re-aligned. for ride height I just started with it slammed and gradually raised it until i didn't get rubbing. I still get a slight rub if I load the suspension pretty hard but it's not bad. Also to note, my front tires are 245/40 and NOT 245/35 so if you get tires that offer that size you will be better off.

M3Newbie88 · 08-09-2010, 05:54 PM

Wow car is looking out.. looks kind of like the M3 you parked beside too.. question any close up shots of your fmic? I want to get one and not cover it with the grill however other then the AA coming with the shroud, none of the other ones did and it looked bad.. but yours in that picture what I can make of it looks good.

NewYearsBoy · 08-09-2010, 06:07 PM

Looks Nice.. Just don't like the wheels... I like the Blacked out M3s wheels to the right of you...

sorry, going for function with these wheels and you can't beat em! I've had 2 sets of multi-piece wheels on this car so it's all good.

I love it this way because NO ONE has one like it

nice man, can you convince me to get 19"? I'm in houston

randomquickness · 08-10-2010, 09:47 AM

19's look perfect on the 1 but if you want light weight it gets pretty expensive

S54dan · 08-10-2010, 09:57 AM

awesome

1ntense_Rocket · 08-10-2010, 11:31 AM

looks great

escobar929 · 08-10-2010, 11:42 AM

nice!

M_BYEEE · 08-10-2010, 12:49 PM

looking good! I actually like the look of the APEX wheels...they have a very functional look to them, so when people see them they know you mean business! Your 2 sets of DPE's were nice as well especially those SP10's

vividracing · 08-10-2010, 12:52 PM

Wow looking very good!

thanks, I like the way they look too, just not as much as either set of DPE's. I've also grown fond of the sticky tires...guess I'm just going to be replacing my daily tires more frequently!

The1 · 08-17-2010, 10:00 PM

I like the uniqueness. I also plan on getting those wheels in the matte black to go on my black car I want the subtlety, but the ability to take big rubber in the arches.

how are you finding the traction with the 265s?

randomquickness · 08-17-2010, 10:10 PM

these tires are phenomenal for street tires. the grip is great and the 245/265 further reduced understeer and oversteer takes more throttle than before. basically finding the traction limit throwing it into turns is well beyond my driving ability.

very good to know as the stock tires are pissing me off, i just don't want to replace them untill i've worn them out. all the more reason to play with them i guess

But i can't wait to get a light set of wheels on and some real tires. I suspect it transforms the car.

randomquickness · 08-17-2010, 10:28 PM

transforms is the right word. dropping the unsprung mass and adding traction is great!

The1 · 08-17-2010, 10:30 PM

i'm thinking a 235 front and 255 rear though. less chance of rub with 235 on front.
