Re: hey god of all that i want to do to my car how did you get the rear big reds to fit?...
Very close. The brackets are of course custom. We had to cut the calipers and drill new mounting holes at a different(90 degrees) angle. The rotors are 314x30 with custom hats.

Re: Did the plates mount the subframe vertically or off the rear most subframe bolt, or something el

I can't find my installation pics right now. If I can't find I'll shoot a new one of the adapter plates mounted.

Re: How possible would it be to adapt this to a T44 chassis?
Alan
In the most recent group buy a guy with a T44 chassis bought one. I think he's on the Audifans.com list. His name is Tony Tuzzolino, not sure of the spelling. I haven't heard back from him.

Torsen boy to the rescue!
Ok, the difference appears to be in rim width wider in back, narrower in front. My thinking is that the back actually has a lower circumference than the front. I'd swap em if you are looking for more torque to the rear.
Either way, I doubt you are affecting the torsen much at all, since I doubt you are exceeding tire wear slop...
The torsen unit for production car purposes is more prone to heat related failures because it uses brass shims. The race cars replace those with SS shims, but heat is still an issue. The Torsen is like a rubber band, it always wants to return to it's rest state when stretched (return to 50/50 torque split). If you are constantly force stretching it (TBR Rear or TBR front all the time) you will generate a lot of heat. That usually manifests itself by shim failure.
Again, I doubt you are doing much at all in terms of affecting the torque split with the same size tire and a 1in rim difference. But certainly if you are looking for a bit more TBR rear, I'd put the wide ones up front.
