Well, the CSL reps that Dan has (VMR VB3's) are 18x8.5 ET45 I believe. Not sure what else is worthy. The VMR V710's are only 19x8.5 ET45.

yeah it is, i actually got a chance to drive one at an event and that has to be the smoothest transmission i've driven...but she didn't want me to go to a smaller more unsafe car and be stuck when it snows..haha
did you look around for any other 18x8.5 or 9's other than the VB3 or is that pretty much all you could find? I was thinking since people put 275's on 8" that 265's would probably be doable and then going with the new OZ alleggerita since they are only 17lbs in 18x8

Hi Dan
Are those both rebound and compression adjustable
I am running KONI FSD with H&R Sports right now, and although they do pretty good on the track, I need to go a couple of steps further in order to improve
I am going dedicated track rims with semi-slicks, and am looking at a coilover now

Fsd is garbage for a track junkie.
Cross adjusts comp and rebound but only 1 knob. So the one knob adjusts both at once. The ability to add negative camber made a HUGE difference in cornering grip and tire wear.
