Yeah 275/35/18 on 18 x 9.5 ET28 - but with a 7mm spacer to clear the spring perch from the Ohlins R&T. Really tight but does clear. 295/30/18 on 18 x 10.5 ET40 for the rear. No DSC with this setup - the F to R diameter messes with it pretty considerably. Not the perfect world setup for tire:wheel - but I have found it to work really well on the track. Eyeballing the yoko A052's in 265/295 to try as my durability set. Then move to Pirelli DH in 285/305 as the get stupid set.
Taking the racecar back up to Austin tonight for the SCCA races this weekend - hopefully we have the fueling issues figured out!

Right now what I have ordered is an 18x9 / 18x10 set and I plan to start with 255 & 275 R888Rs. Time trials is a different beast due to tread wear and width restrictions as well as available contingencies.

Only a month or two away - not too bad. What organization/class will you be running in?

Welcome to SA Crash! Might add MSR Cresson to that list - about the same distance for us as MSR Houston and in my opinion a more enjoyable track. Harris Hill is supposed to get a large percentage of the track repaved in April which would be a game changer out there. It's a pretty fun layout but has gotten so rough that I will not be going back until it is fixed.
PM inbound on shops...

Awesome pics, worth the wait! Nice little summer you have planned there!

I shouldn't do this - but I will divulge one of our top trade secrets... those ratchet straps are actually pretty easy to find anywhere - and in different colors if you really want to get crazy with it
The piping & brace for the intercooler are my priorities for April & May while my M3 is shutdown those couple of months. Wish me luck...
