Wrong car and wrong track name. Sonoma Raceway. Get it right out-of-towner.

Oh, and on the Jongbloed wheel mock up thing.... I bet Ryan would let you take something if he has one there in the size you are thinking. He let me do it last year when my car was in Gilroy.

I'll talk to him about that, what size and offset did you end up with? And what is your approx front track width?

Yeah, Sonoma Raceway is for corporate weenies. That place will always be Sears Point. I have a hat from 83 to prove it!!!

I do love the idea of the car. It's going to be nice seeing another mustang out on the road.

I am at 18x12 front w/ 7.5 BS and 18x13 rear w/ 8.5 BS.

Front TREAD width outside of tire to outside of tire is 75 or 75.5 if I recall.

Um... did you mean Infineon is for corporate weenies?

Now, let's see that hat!

Ok nice. Pretty deep BS, I was doing some rough numbers with the spindle/hub setup I was trying to use and I was coming up with about 9" BS if I wanted to target 0 scrub... That seemed pretty high, I am looking into other spindle/hub options currently. I don't think what I have is going to work out too well... Too much SAI and the hub offset is pretty big.

Maier has some aluminum spindles with steel shaft that uses big bearings. They might work for you...

Payton King has the same size wheels and long arm deal but a .25 inch more BS so he closer to zero scrub than I am but neither of us are at true zero. Still pretty low and wide though.

I gotcha. Not sure how important it is, or if having an inch or so of scrub isn't particularly a bad thing then maybe I shouldn't sweat it. I just would rather try and do the figuring out now and optimize what I can (or at least what I think is right) rather than just compromise and call it good enough
