How much of an advantage would a 17x9 +40 be over the 17x9 +60, with the extra 20mm per side track? Is +40 doable on the rear fenders? I know people fit +45, but once you start getting that low, every mm makes a difference.

So the North Carolina house is not going to happen. I am heading back to the track. I am looking at buying new Enkei RPF1 17X8all around new from Tire Rack for $1,012. (Unless anyone has something better for sale) I am not sure what tires to buy. There are no RA1’s for a 245/40 OR45 - 17 fitment. I refuse to pay $229 +20 for shaved R888’s that have FAIL written all over them. Hoosier A6 245/45 ZR 17 seems to be my best option at $1,064 from Tire Rack.
Kumho V700 for $876 is a cheaper option, but I have never heard of anyone running those.
What say you?
Crap, I need to buy a new wing too! (Unless anyone has one for sale)
I have also been looking at the GtechPro Fanatic top end GPS lap timer/performance device. Has anyone had any experience with them? For $299, it looks to be a good value. Any used transponders out there? Yes, I plan on coming back for real. No hard top $$ until next year, but I can run with Matt top down.

Hoosiers will heat cycle out. I would not recommend them.

They already discontinued this wheel. Which is why I don't like buying a limited runs from smaller manufacturers.
YES!
If I ever get Cale's top fixed I will sell you my BB one.
I am fan of the 6ULRs in the correct 63 offset. They are light enough, look GREAT in black, and cost the same as the RPF1s. They have 2 air valves which is actually really convenient.

No it won't. I run 17x9 et63 with no rubbing on the inside. The 60mm of the RP01 will actually place the wheel 3 mm further out and reduce the chance of any rubbing on the suspension.
