Brian, I think you are the only person I knew who ran this setup on track.

Here are some spec of my car:

Typical NC with Ohlins DFV. Lowered about 1.5 inch (factory Ohlins spec). Fender not roll (yet).

I know this topic is covered before but I want to know the most up to date info on this setup.

I included 225/45/16 and 225/50/16 cause I am still not sure which tire to go with. NT-01, Z211, RA1 (if still have stock), RA888 (super expensive)?
Will 245 fit with rolled fender?

Thanks.
Brian

The 225s fit easily on the 50mm FDs. We fit 245s with rolled rear fenders. These questions answered here in more depth in many prior threads. Search 16x8 and these tire sizes and you will find lots more info...
