Default Four 18 inchers?

Anybody running four rear 18" Z06 rims at track days? How do they work?

Any chance that they fit inside the car for the drive to/from the track? This is a hatchback coupe, not a FRC or Z06. Maybe two in the back and two on the passenger seat? I'd hate to run DOT slicks for a 150 mile drive to and from Grattan or Mid Ohio track days...

Thanks!

Yes, folks have run 18x10.5 all around, they fit just fine. No, they won't fit into the car. Plus, in an accident think about that 50 lb. bludgeon waiting to whack you in the head.

Have a good one,
Mike

Wow, 2 April Fools posts back to back!

No, I'm not going to be able to make it to MSR; going to go see my daughter in college. I do hope to make it out to the BMWCCA DE there later in April.

Have a good one,
Mike
