Finally got around to dropping off the wheels and tires for my autocross setup.
DOSS FF4's 18x10.5
BFG Rival S 275/35/R18
Wanting to go to the CAM invitational at the end of June in Mineral Wells, hence why I went with a 200TW tire. Starting with the 275's as that’s what Strano recommended I start with since it’s just a V6 and it will give me a good idea of how the car is responding.
Can’t wait to see them on the car!
The car in question:

Did it have a square setup stock, or were the rears larger/wider?

Square, so I’m used to the squared setups. I think it was 215 on all four corners originally.

I also have Doss wheels. In fact, I have the FF1s pictured in the lower image. I have been very happy with them.

Agreed, Ray pointed me in the direction of the FF1 when the Ambits I wanted wouldn’t clear the CTS-V brakes.
Decided to give these a go. It’s kinda funny being the only one with these wheelsin the f-body community. Always get a lot of questions and compliments. I was iffy at first about 19" wheels on a ponycar, but they work only because of the sheer size of the brakes on my car.

They look great. I have them on my S4 and its a similar deal, theres maybe one or two other guys with the setup. As a brand, they get somewhat of a bad rap for being cheap and not being forged, but I think as a value proposition they can’t be beat.

Yeah, I’ve run flow-formed wheels from other big brands (Speedline for one) and have had good luck with them. If they were cast, I’d not even mess with them.
