Woods247 BrokeFiST Build

[Woods247]

Yo Matt...haven't kept up on your build but I read this today........did the X47 blow up or are you just looking for a bit more oomph?

It’s still fine. I’m just considering more power and Pumaspeed advised against running more fuel with the X47.

Spent the afternoon playing with fitment of my new 235/40/17 RT660s. They’re significantly wider than the 235/40/16 RT615K+. I had to roll and pull the rear fenders a bit and have custom 7mm spacers made for the front so the inside of the tire cleared the suspension. I’m using the 17x8 et35 Rota Grids with this tire. Seems like they’ll work but I’ll find out for sure at the track next weekend.

Damn, seems like a lot of work, I hope its worth it

It’s been a lot of work. I could do it all again in 1/4 of the time now that I know exactly what has to be done. The extra grip was worth the effort for me.

Solid choice with the Original Blue

What is your ride height? Ground to pinch welds? 6in?

What canards have you got fitted?

With these tires it’s almost exactly 7”. Pretty tall.

They’re made by Aeroflowdynamics

Interesting. Looking at my wheel setup, (granted puny 205/40-17s) it looks like I could easily fit a 235 under the fenders if the damn tire companies would make a short 17in tire. Wish I knew some people at tire companies.

I measured mine when I did the setup yesterday and am at 6in. Today I smacked a pretty big pothole and didn't bottom. Also looking at my shock travel indicators, I may have just kissed the bump stops, which leaves me with 1.5in till everything goes to shit. HAHA

How much negative camber do you have? -3 up front and -2.5 rear?

Oh boy, Here is your huckleberry:

I didn't think anyone made these.

Diameter of the tire has definitely been the challenge. I cut out everything under the front fenders and built brackets to hold the fender and bumper cover out in order to clear max compression. I always bottom out at local tracks so removing that stuff was critical. There’s a lot more work involved to make them fit but yeah, taller tires (most are 24.4) require A LOT of work even with flares.

That’s the only tire in that size made. 245 will require flares for sure but I’d still plan on clearing out the inside of the front fenders.

That would probably make a decent rain tire at full tread depth.

(Albeit you want to run something a bit narrower depending on the standing water on track.)

I'm planning on getting my arches flared (if I can find someone who can do it) and I wanted a set of those that wont cross the borders if where they're likely to go.

-3 front -2.7 rear right now

No rubs during the heat cycle session. Finally calling the 235/40/17 fitment mod done forever 😂

Looks beautiful! I'm curious how much I'll have to bend/cut to make 225/45-16 r888r fit.

If it’s taller than stock (or 24” + in diameter), you’ll probably need to remove the boxed area that houses the three pain in the ass bumper/fender bolts. I was hesitant to cut all that out but man it’s sooooo much easier to take off the front bumper cover now. Rivnuts are the best!

Not a mm to spare. I'd love to see the inside of your wheel wells!
