I am hoping that I am wrong and tires alone may fix the tail-happiness, wouldn't life be sweet that way

I am quite OK with power oversteer



And this was usually the result after about 3 hours of run time.

Yes, apparently. I like my setup quite loose as well, but power oversteer is certainly not the fast way around

Power oversteer can be controlled by the driver unlike understeer.Moderate oversteer under power can be a quicker way depending on the track layout & cornering speeds.It really depends on the drivers preference & feel for the car.

The F8X would be a kick ass drift car, yo. Just rip the bumpers off, put about -7.0 camber up front and you'd be good to go.

Hi!! I'm also considering the GS1r for wheels but in 18's. Are you happy with your front and rear wheel offsets? Did you get the new camber plate? Can you update this thread what your current set up is now? Please don't leave anything out. Thanks!

I have 3/32 clearance between adaptive suspension front strut and tire side wall. Did two track days a week ago and had no rubbing anywhere. But this is a small diameter tire. Even with these tires I was longing for camber plates. I explained to Kmac why their F30 camber plates would not work and they should be coming out with something for the M3-M4 very soon. Also been talking to TC Kline and he will have something soon as well.

Any chance you have a photo? Thx!

Once the camber plates become available, they maybe the setup to go with, particularly with the Swift springs I am thinking about.

So, for now I'll be going with 265/35 front and keeping the rear 325/30, let's see how well they perform; first series of events are in mid-March (if spring comes at all of course).

First three pics are of the fronts and last two are of the rears:

I was just looking at these wheels on their website. I thought they only came in 18"?
