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 :-)

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 ?
