A while back, someone replied to a thread I started about 3RS tires for track events. They mentioned dropping down to a 19" wheel, but some replied that a 19 would have issues. Regardless, for any one running 19's on a .2 3RS, what are the tire sizes?

265/35/19 Front
315/35/19 Rear

Hoosier R7's

No problem what so ever at the track.

TRAKCAR

I ran:
295/19
345/19
fits without rubbing on 19” Forgeline(I have for sale).
I prefer the narrower Fiat take off slicks cost and quality wise.

Both run fine with SC and TC on.

^^^ anyone run 20?

What Fiat ratios you running?

Vetch

Hmmm... so there isn't a non-Hoosier option for small than 20/21" wheels?

Vetch

Ok. Three questions...
1. What is the aspect ration on these?
2. What the heck is a Fiat take off?
3. Where do you get them?

I think Trakcar is running Hoosier R7's as well - those look like Hoosier sizes. IIRC Pirelli (Fiat reference?) has the narrower slicks with more grip than the Hoosiers, but I've heard Porsche warns against using them as the suspension supposedly can't handle the g loads.

@TRAKCAR what FIAT slick you running. I have ordered a set and plan to switch from Hoosiers because of operations costs

Thanks for tagging me



Yes, Ferrari challenge take offs. There are several vendors selling them. I bought 5 sets and all 5 lasted two days.
Much better then Hoosier, even used and they do t rotate on the wheel like R7 crap. I probably ran 6-8 set. The failure rate and the rotation on the wheel is frustrating.

Whatever the size is, it works fine with SC on.
I don’t know my Forgeline offset but new price is $7K plus TPS retail and selling for $3800 with TPS and a set of these Fiat tires that I set my PB the last time I used them so might as well.

Or call Autoquest and they can help you with a new shiny set with all info.

Vetch

You get only two days from a set of tires?

TRAKCAR

Take offs are used.
But slicks can last maybe 3 or even 4 days when you buy new.
Same with R7
Same Michelin
Dunlops are faster and you get 4 days

Add seconds per lap = add days to tires.

Do you have pics of your Forgeline’s for sale? They’re fit for a GT3RS?

TRAKCAR

Here you go.
