If your rears should be 245/35 and you're going to a 9.5" rim then a 275/35 will only be 3% out. A 275/30 will be -1% out.

Have you checked the rear clearance on the wheels? The R8 wheel will need 27mm further clearance between the wheel and the suspension....

I know you're tubbing it. I'm on about internal clearance (wheel to suspension), not external (wheel to wheel arch) - unless you run spacers.

Sorry, I've just had to look it up.

How many have had it done over here before?

The stock 9.5" VXR8 rim has a 57mm offset so it will stick out more, not inwards so why tub? Also with the right offset you can get 9.5 in by just trimming the lip back a little. Only my opinion but tubing is a huge expense for no benefit as the supposed ability to run more camber does not seem to hold true as I had more grip at the strip than any cambered boys? Im running 10" with a 45 offset and still have clearence on the inside wheel well!

Sorry, you're wrong. Offset is from the middle towrds the outside. You're going from 48mm to 57mm, so the wheel will be 9mm further inboard.

You are correct sir... bloody offsets offset me!! Still alot of expense IMHO.

I had to think twice, and draw a little picture before I posted.

S800vxr are you running more negative camber than say jez and harry?

Its just that you seem to have loads of grip and i know you have a 10" rim but i was wondering what geometry settings you were running

Don`t forget that with those holes in his pistons he`d be well down on torque which would help


in truth, its all about technique
