whitetiger Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 I found an awsome deal on tirerack.com for a set of 18"x8" SSR GT2's +51mm at a closeout price of only $299 a rims. They normally go for $469 a rim. They only weigh 16lbs. The tires are 245/35/18 Kumho ecsta V710 R-comps. that make the overall wheel and tire combo less than 40lbs. http://shop.e-tplastics.com/imagehost/misc/DSCN0288.JPG http://shop.e-tplastics.com/imagehost/misc/DSCN0289.JPG http://shop.e-tplastics.com/imagehost/misc/DSCN0290.JPG http://shop.e-tplastics.com/imagehost/misc/DSCN0292.JPG http://shop.e-tplastics.com/imagehost/misc/DSCN0293.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xenonk Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 I found an awsome deal on tirerack.com for a set of 18"x8" SSR GT2's +51mm at a closeout price of only $299 a rims. They normally go for $469 a rim. They only weigh 16lbs. The tires are 245/35/18 Kumho ecsta V710 R-comps. that make the overall wheel and tire combo less than 40lbs. I thought the 18x8 GT2s were like 17 lbs? Cuz I remember the 18x8.5 was closer to 18 lbs I could be wrong, I dont follow the GT2s and GT7s all that much.. Still a good deal. what class are you running using 18x8 with a 245??? You should have gone with a 18x8.5 SSR comp if you could find them for cheap and run a 275/35/18 This year Im putting a set of 225/35/17 Falken fk-452s on my 17x7.5 SSR comps = total weight is just at 30.8 lbs.

I run in ESP. I didnt want to go wider than 245 or id have to roll my fenders and i dont want to do that just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 i didn't know they made GT2 in 18x8 mines 18x8.5 48mm offset!! you got the impreza STi fitment model.. I have a set of SSR Comps the same size and offset as your GT2s. Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 I may come up some time and run against you in ESP this year.. i havent done that many NNJ events, but i would like to hit a few up this year. Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xenonk Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 hmmm, I would like to co-drive your stage 2 autox-beast, I want to see how much different that e-tune makes.. Im still having problems putting that inside tire down.. I need stiffer springs and shocks.. anything to stay away from dealing with modding or changing the front diff.. I want keep my GT as an STU car. I wonder how much faster your V710s will be.. lemme know the next event that you sign up. I'll run in ESP using my stuff.. so that way, it's better off-comparing the two times that we have on the same course. Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitetiger Posted February 4, 2007 Author Share Posted February 4, 2007 well, ill be running every single event on the schedual. Pick any one and ill be there. the ssr gt2s were actually listed under 06 outback Xt on tirerack. they are still there if you search using that criteria. For some reason ther arent listed if you search using legacy or impreza searches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
