You're welcome. Tires are 295/680/19 and 305/690/19. I will most likely get custom 18" CCWs as there are a lot more selection on 18" sizes

Hi, thanks for your help! I've got the wheels and tires. In the end I got 19x10.5 and 19x11 wheels. For tires, there is no 305 available immediately so I went 295/30/r19 Toyo R888R all around. I did put 5mm spacers in the front to avoid rubbing. I haven't adjusted the camber yet but I feel I probably have to go with 7mm spacers to achieve the negative camber I want. I plan to take it to drag strip first to see how much more traction new tires have compared with stock tires.

Do you have your track tires on all the time? Previously I thought I can always switch between track wheels & tires with stock wheels & tires. But I just realized what a trouble it is to change all 4 wheels and tires.

Yes, I have the NT01s currently but it's not my DD. I drive when it doesn't rain. R888Rs should be even better for rain which may not be a problem in your case, if you live in San Diego

JFYI - Doug was able to grind enough on the shock body on my car to only need a 3mm spacer.

He said I could skip the extended bolts, but since I had already ordered them, I used them.

Still got -3.0 degrees too

So it all depends how much you're willing to grind
