Hey William,

We ran 1 event at the end of the year with 15x7 Kosei's & 225/45/15 V710's....the rears fit fine but we had to run close to a 1" spacer in the front to clear the calipers. It was a better settup mind you to the 215/40/16's we had been running.

Thanks Bill. I was worried about the speed sensors for the drive by wire and abs giving me issues.

mmmmmm....didn't notice any issues. and we defineately did on the Sentra SpecV...even on the stock setup we had issues with the drive by wire and left foot braking. That system didn't like to open the throttle when your foot was on the brake.

Yeah, ran into that little nugget on my Spec V as well. Most infuriating car to drive in Autocross. Very fast and good potential, but a nightmare to drive. The fly-by-wire throttle issue and the ABS issue. If you engaged the ABS with one tire in the air, the ABS got confused and cut all braking. In Autocross, one of the rear tires is always in the air with the Spec V. People watching said a rear tire would be 12" off the ground--completely stock suspension and V710's.

lol, Back in the day some courses had stop boxes with hard 90 degree corners infront of them. They were nasty on 3 channel ABS cars. Good thing autoX courses are designed to be safer than the actual road.
