Any fellow Grippers using Toyo Proxes R888's?

Hey, if I remember right, they are the exact same compound as the Ra-1's just a more aggressive tread , I THINK haha. How come you are running so little width? GO WIIIIDEE!!! haha you should go 245 front and 265 back,OR 255 front and 265 back OR 255 ALL AROUND all R-compounds run about 5-10mm wider than your normal street tires I believe, even the bridgestone Re-01r's run alittle wider than usual. But damn those tires are expensive haha The most commonly used R-compounds I see are the Toyo Ra-1's and the Nitto Nt-01's both really nice tires I've had both.

Nice car though man maybe I'll see you at this years Nasa events

Thanks for the info. Ive got to get some suspension work/tuning before i go any wider. Already got a bit of rubbing when im killing it at tracks like HTM and the real technical areas of Buttonwillow.

Hope to see you out there too. Got a few of us with NASA already a few more interested i think this year. Youll have no problems finding me out there.

haha I dont think anyone will have a problem spotting you at the track. Common man dont go 235's up front at least 245 haha. Right now on my street wheels I'm running 245/45/18 Bridgestone Re-01r's all around just cause I got them for cheap,but they dont rub at all when I'm at the track so I'm sure 245/40/18 in the front would clear no problem and 255/35/18 or 265/35/18 in the rear wouldn't be too much of a problem either with a SLIGHT SLIGHT pull or even just hammering the inside lip might do it.

On my track wheels (enkei rpf1's) I'm running Nitto Nt-01 in 245/40/17's all around. Since my car is just stock with headers intake and exhaust only, I dont really want to run much wider than that. But since you got some nice power you should go wider. WIIIDER WIIIIIDER WIIIIIDER!! haha
