Default Front wheels?

What front wheels fit this wonderful car? SRX4 gen3
I've heard Associated wheels will fit, but looking on Amain there are wheels for B44, B64 and B74.
trying to find some pre-mount options....

In my opinion, the Serpent wheel is the best option . The center bore for the wheel nut is recessed more than the AE b74.1 based wheel, on the rear its totally recessed.

Default Titanium screw kit

Anyone have a link or source for a titanium screw kit for this car? I think Tworks has one. Was wondering if there were any others.
Also a pre-cut chassis protector?

Default traction rolling

I'm racing on indoor gray carpet medium to high traction and I'm having an issue on traction rolling on high speed turns (large sweeper off the straight)
I'm running Brian Hildebrand's setup from rug burn with the only change I'm using 1.8 front sway bar, and 1.5 rear sway bar, and 500cts shock oil front and back. Same Schumacher Cactus fusion 2 / cactus tires in yellow with blue tubby foam inserts. This is also a 13.5t car. Track favorite tire is the JC Fuzz Bites, going to try a set next race. Any ideas I can try to help on the traction rolling,

personally I have limited gray carpet testing. If your flipping towards the tire being the issue. Glue the front outer flange /sidewall. Make sure the glue bead is ample. Personnel I use TLR Thin. You can also shave or clip the outside to 1/2 or ao to take away the front steering ..

I run on black CRC and had similar issues. Serpent now makes a 1.7 rear swaybar. Mine is currently still on the way, so I havent used it yet, but it should help alot.

Also Fuzz bites will offer significantly less side bite than the cactus which will help alot. I only use cactus when I want a really locked in rear end.

Also I'm not familiar with that setup, but also consider raising the rear inner pivot, that helped me alot as well.

Do you happen to know the part number for the 1.7 swaybar? Never mind, Found it SER500475

This is my setup as I ran Tuesday night. I raised my front and rear roll center, fuzz bites front tires mounted for less traction, cactus rear. Still traction rolling but not as bad, short of trying to glue the side walls not sure what else to try.
Someone at the shop told me I should try softer front springs.....not sure as it goes against everything I know of for traction rolling.

Brewkett,
Quickly glancing at your sheet. Id suggest:
both diffs with the "0" up giving the highest diff heights, laying the front shock inboard all the way on tower and outer front arm, rear shock 1 hole out on tower , and mid arm, move the rear hubs full forward, anti squat also will help with decreasing grip, move outer upper link outward(could also raise it for finer tuning). I'd also increase the front castor to the most allowed I think +5 is the most for the insert. But in my opinion download the "So Dialed" app, and the "So dialed Pill Calculator ". A lot of effort went into setting it up to help you with adjustments, and lots of info. Once using it , especially the pill calculator, you'll never use the editable sheets again.
Hopefully, I am helping your setup. Let me know if I can be more of assistance after changes made to the car. Have fun..

CRC black carpet is strange stuff. I had big troubles with traction rolling when I first tried running sedans on it. What I did find is that stiffer and stiffer setups make it worse and more violent. It seems backwards, but the chassis does need to be able to roll into the corner some.

Playing with the pill calculator, would I be better with more anti squat, or more roll center?
