Good deal for someone that wants to get into sim racing. I haven't used my setup much recently, and have started to part out my setup. I'll be back again eventually, but I plan on upgrading anyways before winter. - 3x Dell 23" monitors. Nothing special, older commercial grade business monitors that display in 1080, and response rate of 5-8ms? 60hz refresh rate. DVI inputs, but I have DVI-Display Port Adapters I may be able to throw into the deal if needed. - Adjustable triple monitor stand custom made out of 3/4" MDF. Arms can move and pivot, and it can move up and down. Sim rig/wheel setup no longer available. Seat for sale in separate ad, please view my other ads. I also have a gaming tower for sale that will run racing games without any issues, and more for $600. ( https://www.kijiji.ca/v-view-details.html?adId=1431786633) $200 for the monitor and stand setup. Please text 4038693012 only. Thanks

I have some parts sitting down at Montana mailbox.
Not sure if Im going to use DYK for that stuff sine I have more than a few things there now (ie. Their brokerage/service is convenient, but with multiple items I think it will add up to more than a tank of gas).
Probably planning to go down end of April if that works?

They're also a really good option if you ever need to ship big/bulky things to the states.
Here's what it cost me to ship a set of four wheels to Oklahoma. 3 day service once it gets to Montana, for < $250 CAD.
That's the all in cost for you dropping off the wheels at their location and them taking cared of everything else in order to get it to the final destination in the US?
Yup, that's was all in. Didn't see any other costs from the receivers end either.

Anyone have any takeoffs that might have some life left in them? Looking for a full set of four.
May consider a lightly used set as well for extra $$$.
255/35/18, 265/35/18, or 255/40/18 can do... maybe 275/35/18...
PM is key, thanks!

Welcome!
I'd highly recommend attending a novice school if there's one being hosted, but it's not mandatory by any means. It's a great chance to learn, and you usually get a lot of seat time.
I believe your member number is different from your car number. I cant remember the exact rules for this year, but they were mentioned at the last drivers meeting on Sunday. They are something along the lines of:
1-199 are reserved for SASC members
200-699 are free reign
700-999 is for novices (Easy for marshalls and organizers to spot you so we can provide ride alongs, and watch/help you develop)

Thanks for the pictures Stephen! a RWD understeering and a FWD oversteering. I don't know what to believe anymore.
This made me lol at work...

IMO more tread made a massive difference in my truck - 255 OEM to 275 now
You'll barely notice that it's a wider tire on the rim. You're talking about 10mm inside and outside. I say go for it.
I guess it's not so bad. Look like it has been done before, and the tires aren't too pinched. What's the car? The fast setup on a Focus ST, which has 8"-wide wheels, is a 255 tire, so if you have 7.5" wheels, a 245 should be reasonable.
Thanks for sharing your experience. This was the exact type of answer I was hoping to get. I guess it really does't hurt to try one vs the other. Even if I did pit them up against each other, I don't think I'm consistent enough to meaningfully record any difference anyways... The car is a first gen Audi A3. From what I've read, it's not the best car for AX since traction is an issue. Maybe a bigger footprint could benefit the car? 6speed, not the DSG :/ ... I wouldn't go wider than 235 on a 7.5 inch wide rim. Refer to the 'measured rim width' published in the tire specs, you want to be as close to this as possible, and no more than half an inch over. As you start stuffing too wide tires on, you lose sidewall stability for the increase in contact patch area. And for smaller cars (as opposed to Gwynn's truck), an increase in contact patch area does not always equal an equal increase in traction, as you lose surface pressure and tire heating as a result.
Fair point, I'll keep this in mind. I guess I'll have to see what's in stock/can make it on time for the 1st event.

At a crossroads in choosing a tire size, and I'm unsure what size tire would be best.
I don't have much experience driving on wide tires crammed onto narrow wheels, but can anyone share their experience? Strictly for auto cross use of course.
The car is FWD, and oem size is 225/45/17. I guess 235/40 is an option, but I'd rather try a wider 245/40 if I m going bigger.
Is the extra width actually worth a few more seconds at our local venues? I know driving feel may go down the drain, but is it worth the tradeoff?

Sorry to thread jack, but I too am looking for a set of take offs in the same size, or 235/40/17.
Sorry for butting in Andrew! Just thought I'd save the clutter of adding another thread, and I might as well bump yours!

Thanks for the offers guys!
I think i'll try and take up nnywg on his set first to see how it all fits. It's actually the exact size combo that I was looking into.

Looking for pairs of any of the following sizes:
245/40/18
255/35/18
275/35/18
285/35/18
Looking for pairs that I can use for test fitting some wheels. Not quite sure what will fit best on my car, so any condition, garbage or otherwise, summer/UHP or all season will do.
Thanks!
