18 inch track wheels and tires

[Tracked Emira]

An 19 inch wheel thread was started, but since some are dedicating slicks or semi slicks for their 18 inch wheels for track use this thread will be directed to see what custom specs will work.

Great idea separating the threads.

I spec'd out 18x9.5" front and 18x11" rears

Based on simulated measurements I anticipate I will lose 6mm of steering lock. The inner barrel will hit the UCA 6mm before we reach full steering lock.

I also anticipate the front brake line holder bolts to the UCA will also hit the barrel. That that will need to be relocated.

I will post updates once I have actuals.

Also, so that there are no assumptions, rear parking brake has to be relocated or indexed inwards to run 18s in the rear - accomplished by running Darkworks design PBR

What ET are you planning to spec for the 18*9.5 fronts and 18*11 rears? Is your Emira a V6 or a Turbo?
