P3D+ Street/Track/Time Trial Build
- Thread starter MasterC17
- Start date
Bushings installed, control arms back in the car!
I haven't had a chance to drive on them yet, will report back when I do!
Mounted up a set of Hankook R-S4's - going to give these a shot and see how they compare.
Also installed a set of Carbotech RP2's from Martian Wheels on the rear axle of a different 3, hmm, more info to come there!
Thoughts on the 275 tire width? I am running a 18x9.5 , ET34 wheel and my shop doesnt think I can fit a 275 wide tire up front without rubbing
It will fit, you'll need 3mm or 5mm spacers though. I would recommend 3mm up front and 5mm in the rear.
3mm: 3mm (1/8") Hubcentric Race Wheel Spacers 5x4.5 & 5x4.75 for Ford Chevy Pontiac | eBay
5mm: 5mm (3/16") Hubcentric Race Wheel Spacers 5x4.5 & 5x4.75 for Ford Chevy Pontiac | eBay
I have the equivalent of a 5mm spacer up front.

Interested to hear what you think about the RS4s. What were you running previously?
Thank you!
Will do, excited to get back on-track. 3 months is too long!
The first set I ran were Nexen N Fera SUR4G, which were OK tires, then I ran the Federal 595RS-PRO's which I actually quite like, so it will be interesting to see how much better the Hankook's are. I expect they will be faster and wear better, but I guess we will find out.
I am! Haven't noticed any real impact on range, so why not!
I'm much more concerned about uneven tire wear. I don't drive every street turn with 1G lateral acceleration to compensate for that high camber. And I use highways. In my case I have 100Y 275 tires and that makes potential problem even worse.
I wouldn't worry too much about the wear unless your toe is out of wack. Toe will kill tires much quicker than a few degrees of camber will.
I'm planning on doing the same as MasterC17 and leaving running the same camber/toe settings for track and street. It may mean I compromise on the amount of camber I run but until I get the suspension fitted and do some measurements on track I won't know what I can get away with.
So far the only wear I keep getting is outer edge wear, but I also don't daily my car.
My next event at VIR is coming up this weekend. As VIR will not be fixing their Chademo, and I don't want to miss track time I've paid for, I have come up with a brilliant solution.
The obvious answer is to run two Model 3's. My wife has generously sacrificed her Model 3 to the cause, and MPP has helped me source what I need to make it track-ready-but-not-over-the-top. Here are the setups in both cars. It will be very interesting to compare the two of them. I'll be swapping them out each session so the other can charge up on the NEMA 14-50's.
