I really like these wheels and the fact that they can be had with custom offsets but not being able to use them with manufacturer's recommended torque specs is deal breaker for me :/ Apex confirmed that I can safely run 140 lb/ft torque on the lug nuts with no issue and advised me to stick to manufacturer's recommendation, FWIW

Same here. No issues with FIKSE and OEM torque.
I won't run on a track at less than oem torque. Especially with sticker tires. So all ears for the answer here...

I understand the desire to have a square setup - for rotating tires - but what a pain when they're on different sized wheels. Also, having front tires with sidewalls that bulge out that much means you're going to lose a lot of that instant feedback the OEM setup provides. Good luck!

Definitely good points, I've never been a fan of what I would consider a "fake" square setup, but funny enough it's where I ultimately ended up. My main goal with this setup was not really for the added benefits of square, it was simply to get a bit more front grip as this car has shown some tendency for mid to late corner push. It may not be ideal, and it may not even function any better but someone needs to figure it out through testing so I took that gamble. This is basically version 1.0.

The front does bulge a bit, but it's not overly dramatic. We will see how it handles on track before I jump to any conclusions. Another option is 295 square.

Dayum...if we had a track here in Hawaii, I would definitely do this. I love it. Good job.

The NT01 is one of the most consistent, longest lasting R comps on the market despite being years old and because of this has been known as one of the best track day tires still available.

What, in your opinion, is better?

Looks like you're on RE71R. Same tire I'm running too- I'd rather have an NT01.

Having owned more sets of NT01's than I can count, they're my hands down favorite. The RE71R is a great tire too and about as fast as an NT01 in the dry, but better in the wet. However, they wear considerably faster than an NT01.

Tire? Size? Performance characteristics vs stock set up? Pls and thank you!

Exactly, having used both of them on the same car, I can say, albeit the fact they have been out there for years, all things considered NT01s are the best R compound tires for the money for road course

The RE71 is a bad track tire. It wears like a 60TW on track when it gets hot.

The best AutoX tire you can get, IMHO.

These are custom offsets so you can order whatever you need to fit a 10.5 properly in the R and still retain proper stock track width ratio F to R. These specific offsets won't accomplish it.

?? No. Not even close. Currently it has about 22mm of poke with the 11". Sticking the fronts on would increase that to almost 38mm!!
