Re: "Hammer clearancing" for wheels?

I've autocrossed (using 315 Kumho V710's and Hoosier S03's) and run track days with them with no problem. If I was going to have a problem, it would have surfaced by now. I would probably think twice if I was running a 1/2" or larger but a 1/4" just isn't an issue.

You also had the longer studs, correct?

Steve, you are running 17x11" on the front??? Did you have to do any mods to the front to fit 11" wide rims other then a 1/4" spacer??

My front 17x11's are 36mm offset so I didn't have to do anything.

If you use a 50mm offset, you either need a spacer (1/4") or grind the little bump of the upper spindle arm.
