FS: Autocross 17" rims and race tires and more...

I am upgrading to larger tires and I am selling my current autocross tires, they are Yokohama AO32R race tires. The rims aren't the prettiest but they are solid and straight, the rims are 1994 chrome corvette rims. All 4 are 17X9.5". The tires are 274/40/17 and have about 65% tread left, they also work very well bald or shaved so there is plenty of life left in these tires.
All 4 rims and tires mounted and balanced: $350
You can look up these tires on Tirerack.com, they will bolt right up to any 4th gen f-body.


Also have 2 chrome C5 fat spoke 17" rims with center caps $80
Also have a set of 4 camaro salad shooters in great shape with like new Goodyear Eagle HP tires 90% tread left. $220
Also have a set of 4 corvette rims from my 1985, with bald tires $70

I am selling all my rims/tires cheap because I need the cash for my new setup.

I can seperate if needed.
The 275/40/17 race tires are excellent for any kind of road racing and are very sticky.
The 245/50/16 Goodyear Eagle HP tires are in perfect condition with very little miles on them and are great for anyone who needs new tires. This whole set of 4 is cheaper than just 1 new tire and rim and these have over 90% tread left.

Those may be worth listing on FRRAX.com. It's a road race/autox forum for F-bodies.

BTW I'm the one with the ESP Camaro that was at WMR a year or two ago.
I think I'm going to be at wings stadium this Sun so maybe I'll see ya around.

What kind of autox setup are you using and with what car? I don't get to this board often anymore.

A Western Michigan Region SCCA autocross event.

Great fun. Just need to pass a general tech inspection and bring a SA OR MA 90 or newer helmet. And there are loaner helmets even.

It's a "mini road course" setup with pylons on large parking lots. Mostly driver intensive, 2nd gear work, but things happen really fast.

I should be there, I'll be the red Camaro being trailered by a white Z71. Ya can't miss it, It's loud and obnoxious, with a bunch of NON RICEY stickers that are mostly autox series stickers. (I hate having to explain the NO rice thing. So I just don't drive it on teh street anymore )

I think I remember meeting you the autocross event. Did you have the red lt1 car with 17X11 ZR1 rims on all four corners or am I thinking of a different car? I believe it was the fastest car there.

I don't think I'll be autocross racing for another week or so, I am building a roller cam 4-bolt main engine for my car. My current car is a Black 1985 Z51 corvette, I will probably just be keeping these 17x9.5" tires/rims to run this year, My daily driver setup will be 17X11 rims in the rear. I haven't autocrossed my vette since I have redone the suspension/trans/engine so I look forward to getting out there as soon as possible, my car should be done this weekend. Let me know when your going to be autocross racing next, we can meet up.
