Mounted: 19x10.5/11 305 square MRR track wheels on 1LE

Well folks, here it finally is. These are MRR FS01 19x10.5 +14 and 19x11 +36 wheels with 305/30/19 NT01's. This is a track specific wheelset on my 1LE and will see very little street time. Even so, for a 10.5 +14 front wheel, the poke is a lot less than I thought it would have been. Some of you I'm sure will complain () but poke is a non-issue on the track and looks come second. I was jumping around with different wheel and tire ideas and was skeptical at first of running a square tire, but ultimately after my own testing on track, I felt a square setup would be superior to a staggered setup. Technically this is not a true square set up as the wheels are different, but my main goal was to get more tire up front and not necessarily the benefits of running square (rotations etc.) If needed, I will at least be able to swap tires at my local tire shop. I have yet to drive it on track, so this may or may not be the answer. We are in relatively new territory when it comes to finding the optimal track set up for these cars, and it's ultimately up to use to find what works best. So this is my first attempt. For those curious, I came to these offsets by way of trying to maintain the same, oem, inner strut clearance on the front. I decided to drop the rear to +36 to try and maintain some semblance of the stock track width. Special thanks to MRR wheels and PK Auto Design for being able to quickly make the wheel to my exact specs. Anyhow, here ya go.

Looks good and that is a pretty aggressive offset!

Let's see the pokes, I always wonder how it would look especially with 305's squared

NT01 is my favorite track tire.

I'm really interested in hearing your impressions after a few sessions.

While I am going to stick with OEM for Track, I would almost certainly duplicate your setup for RE71s for AutoX in 19".

I'm leading AS in my local region, but just 'that short' at the National Events.

Great job and they look great.

It looks just perfect, glad the offset settings worked for you. This would be the ideal offsets for our cars with that size for sure.
I will also have the NT01s mounted soon (hopefully) as I am not that impressed with the Trofeo Rs (305 Sq setup). Mine will be pretty similar to yours except 325s in the rear

Looks good for a track set up.
It will do wonders for your paint job if you drive that on the street
I like the +36 on the back. Always thought the +43 was conservative.

Imho 11 on the back and 10.5in the front is not square.
You potentially change the characteristics of the tire using different wheels.
