    Z3 Coupe GT with V8 motor- I believe this car is in BELCAR races and the FFSA. It goes against cars like the Porsche GT2 etc. The body kit is all custom.

    As soon as I wear out these stock tires, I am getting fatter ones. 245 just look very think on our cars, I think.

    Do you have info on the components that are used in these cars? Any links to the Belien Motorwerks website? I believe Belien is the team that produces these cars, only I have not found any specific info yet- just pictures and lap times.

    Belcar

    But to be honest there not much to find on the net...

    The wheels look like the BBS motorsports 3 piece wheels. I saw about a gazillion of them last week on a tour of the BBS US headquarters outside Atlanta. I tried to walk out with a pair of the LMs but I couldn't fit them under my shirt

    Looks like they pulled the fenders a bit. Anyone here do that to stuff some bigger meat under there?

    It appears that, on the white and black cars, there is a wide-body conversion for the front track. This would help offset any understeer the car initially had. I'd imagine this would cost a fortune to do, since it is all custom work and every body panel would have to be modified for it to fit correctly. On the other car, the front fenders do look like they were pulled- as you said. I am sure you could have your front fenders rolled to run some bigger tires- up to 265s or so. I don't think it costs too much to roll the fenders. This would be totally overkill for the road however, since the tires in the front might not heat up to the proper operating temperature to get the traction you desire.
