My car: 2022 M3P, with Front Upper Control Arms, Rear Camber Arms, and Sport coilovers (all Mountain Pass Performance). Camber is about -2.5 deg front, and -1.7 deg rear (compromise for street). 275/35/19 Rivals on 19x9.5 wheels, I did my first autocross with this setup yesterday. My times were...

Do you know that the haters' reasons for being against EVs is? 10-15 years from now autocross will be majority EVs, and there'll be good reason to be an ICE hater.

I have the Rival 1.5's, and I do like them. I only did one autocross and one track day last year with them, so I don't have a ton of experience. Beware that they run wide though. I run 5mm spacers with 275/35/19 on Konig 19x9.5 +35 Ampliforms, and the tire still just grazes the uprights under load.

I'll pile on to say that when I read post 1027 above I thought it was a rather hard sell, making broad, unsubstantiated claims, without supporting data, for a company that I think of as reputable. Wondering if UP might chime back in to this thread to comment?

Your cheapest option, initially, is likely new tires on the Uberturbines. But then when those get trashed from potholes (if Chicago roads are anything like Boston area roads), go and spend the $3k for 18" or 19" wheels and tires from T-Sportline. They will fit without any spacers, hub centering...

I have 275/35/19 Rivals. Bought them late last season, as they were one of the only 200TW tires available at the time, and they were a real bargain from Tire Rack. I liked them in the one autocross and one track day I did. Beware though that they run very wide. In my size with 5mm spacers they...

I did my first autocross in the Tesla this past weekend. Did pretty well considering it was my first and only autocross of this season, and I'm still on stock springs and shocks. I was definitely first in the class in my head: "Car that you drive to go skiing". The CSP Miata with Hoosiers and...

Hopefully closing out my story, and posting a followup. Mounted my 275/35/19 Rival with the 5mm spacer. Space to the knuckle looks like this: So hopefully with my belt and suspenders and suspenders I'm good now. Checked the number of rotations of lug nut engagement. Tire Rack says that I...

Thanks much. I figured this out as I've looked at my pictures more.

How Crap. You're probably right. So it looks like the +25 offset Ampliforms would be a perfect fit for me, vs. the +35 that I'm working to make fit now. Seems odd based on past experience that everyone has posted on this forum. Can anyone explain this?

So, the plot thickens. Did my track day last weekend - very fun, all good. Then yesterday (4 days later) I lost traction control, ABS, cruise control, regen... So this happened: Installed new speed sensor, with belt and suspenders and suspenders: Added a 3mm spacer to the 5mm, to yield...

How are you running XSA? All EVs are excluded: https://cdn.connectsites.net/user_files/scca/downloads/000/048/556/Xtreme_Street_%28XS%29_Rules-01012022.pdf?1649086401

Not measured on a rack, but I trust the measurements of the person who aligned it.
