Just realized that moving the knuckle mount location for the strut will probably do the same for scrub radius as the same size spacer or wheel offset.

Moving the knuckle mount location would be more of a "no more room outwards, I really want to run this wide of tire and I have camber gain to spare on my top mount" kind of move.

There is room in the front with Voltex double overfenders (1.75" more than stock w/ EvoDave on each side) for 315s. Not so much for anything wider.

I was hoping the Voltex double overfenders would allow me to fit my 18x12 w/ 335 setup... but it looks like maybe not then. Need about 1/2" more width than a 315, because they use the 315 mold with a 1" spacer in it.

I haven't bought wheels/tires yet. I have just been test fitting/measuring/cutting up the knock-off fenders I bought. There is also "room" under the voltex double over fender with the 315s (according to my measurements)... just the potential for there to be not quite enough for 335s.

Pretty much Stock, aside from a light tune, swift springs, Girodisc rotors, ETS Exhaust and tons of weight reduction and safety equipment (can't really mod the EVO X too much in TTB).

Thanks! It was my first time at Palmer (if you couldn't tell). I'm excited for the TT4 rules to come out. The car REALLY needs coilovers. I'm hoping the new TT4 rules will allow me to run a set of Ohlins...

haha the minimum weight to HP ratio for TTB is 10.5:1 which I'm right at the brink of (I'm at 10.6:1). That's quite a bit more than a Miata (they have to be somewhere around 18:1 haha), but I wouldn't say it's a terribly fast car in a straight line.

Well, 10.5:1 is a lot more than 240whp... lol

Yes, I've heard TT4 is going to be 12:1 (I was talking about TTB above). But they're going to calculate HP the same way they calculated HP for TT3 this year using the new average formula. Assuming the TT4 rules are going to be the same as the TT3 rules except that the weight/HP ratio is going to be 12:1, I'll be at 12.05:1 (with the added benefit of being able to run coilovers and possibly a splitter and wing).
