Default 245/40/17 RE 01R, Pictures on car.

If I can't find a good set of take off re 070's, I am going to get a set of re 01r's. I am concerned about the width of the 245/40/17's visually. Also wondering about sidewall flex with this size.

Anybody have pics on 05 BBS wheels?

Thanks,

OGITB

This is RE01r's in 245/40/17 but not on stock BBS. It's on 17x9 with 43mm offset. -3 front camber and -1.7 rear camber.

They are awesome and can holds up very well with the heat. I have track them at Miller Motorsports Park with full course which is 4.5 miles and they held up very well. They also gives a very good early warning before it reaches its limit and give out unlike some R-compounds that sometimes don't have much warning before reaching the limit.

They are also as closes to a R-compound tire as you can but can be used for daily driver.

I'm going to try the new Toyo R1R's this year to see if it can match or better then the RE01r's.

That's Miller Motorsports Park in Utah. I currently lives here for 2 years now and I love the canyon drives up the mountains. It's better then some the the tracks out there to be honest. I often do go to the canyons to practice a little when I cannot go to the track. The roads are usually empty so I can drive like 6/10th.

I'll be moving back to Boston soon. I really missed the real city life and history/beauty of the Northeast, so I'll be hitting up the east coast tracks.
