So I totally forgot to mount the RT660 on an 11" wheel today, but here's what I have so far:
285 CR1 - 10"
285 CR1 - 11"
285 - 10" comparison - basically dead even. Might be a MM or two difference:
285 CR1 - 11" vs 295 A052 - 11" - Pretty damn close! I know the treadwith was practically equal. Section width the A052 is wider.
285 RT660 - 10" / 285 CR1 - 10" / 285 CR1 - 11" / 295 A052 - 11"
285 CR1 - 10"

Looks like Kumho released a few new sizes in the V730....no specs on them yet. Hoping for a 285/30/18...

Hi guys,
I have been away from racing for a while and I can see lots of changes happen in the last few years. Bigger tires, clutches, pressure plates, software for everything,...kind of crazy when I think just a few years back most of these new things where no go!
Since I have been trying a bit in D-Street for a while, I always looked at the STU as next much funnier step. With all these rule changes how does EVO X stands nowadays compared to the earlier versions?
Thanks!

Yes, they've finally made some good changes to this class. So many different chassis in this class could win a tour/national championship, IMO of course. Obviously the STI, E92 M3, Evo 8/9/10, 370/350z, Fiata, the list goes on.
I don't see why the X wouldn't be toward the peaky end of things with the right driver. I'd be shocked if you couldn't easily fit a 295 A052 on a proper wheel width all the way around. Unsure of what wheel widths would work for that.... I've thought quite seriously about building one, but I'd like to get a truck/hauler prior to going down that road.

I did go quickly over the rules and it looks like clutches and PP are free. Couldn't see anything about multi plate clutches there...it looks like we could use different ones, but I am not sure if we could add more plates there...

I am getting there to replace mine (almost 90k there) and adding an extra pair of OEM plates (or two, can't remember this part) helps apparently. I guess, letter would need to be written....
