Tony, Here are the Challenge wheel offsets: 8" x 18" - ET 31.5 10.5" x 18" - ET 39.95 I don't have the stock wheel offsets here with me but, I think they are the same � a millimeter or so. |

Tony - The guys at Kinesis know their stuff very well. I've worked with them several times to fit uncommon wheels, and the Challenge wheels, they have the dimensions & offsets already. If you are interested in Kinesis wheels - or even HRE wheels, give me a ring or drop me an email (512.947.1729), or else as an FCA member, you get a discount direct from Kinesis. |

Thanks Viken. I knew I should have asked you. Do you also know the offsets ? I am trying to decide between these and having a set of Fikse or Kinesis wheels made, duplicating the Challenge sizes. Can you tell I am getting excited Tony |

Stock: 7.5" x 18" - 215/45-18 10" x 18" - 275/40-18 Challenge: 8" x 18" - 215/45-18 P-Zero Direzionale W5 10.5" x 18" - 275/40-18 P-Zero Asimmetrico W5 The W5 is the rain tire used by the Challenge cars. This tire is identical to the P-Zero but has a slightly softer compound for better grip. I imagine this tire would be a good choice for the track. Alternatively, some people are using 235/40 and 295/35 tires on the Challenge wheels for the street. I am not sure if any R-compound tires are available in these sizes. |

Anyone know if the wheel/tire dimension specs are the same for the standard 360 wheels and the Challenge wheels ? |
