Hi folks,
Wondering the experience folks have had altering the tire stagger in their Gen 5s.

Their front:rear tire circumference difference is greater than that of the Gen 3s and 4s (where I have experience). In the Gen3/4s, the brake bias would go too far rearward if that circumference difference wasn't respected. Especially dicey in an autox setting.

I'd like to know how the car would work on something like the 315/30-18 front (25.6" diameter) and 345/30-19 rear (26.8" diameter). That 1.2" diameter difference is only about half the difference front to rear of a Gen 5.

For anybody that has tracked/autocrossed a Gen5 with tire diameters kinda like the above, how did the car work?

Thanks!!

Thanks Mark!

Do we know how much longer Dodge are taking orders on new builds?

In the 1-of-1, would it be possible to get ACR suspension, wheels, and vented hood with TA 1.0 aero?

J-Rho,

Dodge will be taking orders for awhile , though if demand stays as high as it has been initially for the 2017, at some point that will have to cease. We are taking and working on 17 orders at a greater pace than in 2016 and that was a great year for Woodhouse. On your second question , the ACR suspension , rims, etc. are limited only to an ACR, though if you are looking for a trick suspension you have no farther to go than he MCS system that Mark J. installs all the time.

Be happy to chat you about your concerns.

Respectfully,
Bill Pemberton
