Arrive and drive on Cup2/Trofeo and showing tail lights as you pass most anything is very satisfying. The car will be great with R7s and lots of camber, but yes that means some trailering too. I have 265/335 R7s and Forgelines on order. Will be a blast. Having said above, there is nothing more important than getting in seat time with good instruction and later coaching first. Your times will drop w/o buying mods and you still have the mods/tires option in your pocket for the future and a great skill set to build on ! These cars have so much potential.
Forgeline GS1Rs 20x9 ET 52, 20x12 ET 47, w/ R7s 265/335 arriving soon. I'll have em at the track in the next two weeks with suspension re configured for testing. Will report back.
Pirelli seems to have produced new tire sizes for Trofeo R: 315/30/20; 335, 345 etc
If my math is right we should be able to run TROFEO R 265/315:
265/35/20 is 27.32" , 275mm wide
315/30/20 is 27.64" , 316mm wide
335s used on McLaren P1 and 345s used first on LaFerrari, but they seem to run too tall, 28"+ even they are pretty wide 350-355mm
I have got some prices too: 265 are EUR 400 netto per tire, 315 are EUR 440, So more or less, 2000$ a set without local taxes
LATER EDIT
regular 245s are 252mm wide
regular 305s are 320mm wide (XL-for GT3, Acura, new Mclaren), but there are more versions of this tire: Mclaren MP12(MC1) and Lambo Huracan(L) versions are 308/309mm.
So as rears seem pretty wide already, the fronts are running significantly wider using 265s

Reason: adding info
Quick update: 315 Torfeo Rs are still under development,but will be released soon, also 255 fronts.
Hoosier will produce only the wide version of 305s (like the narrow 335s today) and 335s will be even wider(like a proper 335 tire I would say), I will soon get 265/305w and will use OZ superforgiatta wheels 9 et51 and 12 et56
As the Fall season approaches, what updates has everyone done to their car? Also, if you put your car specs in a previous posting, please go update it instead of reposting. I just updated a few things in my specs post - nothing major.

After suffering two punctures to the same tire, a pair of new Sport Cup2s at the rear. Just in time to put them away in a month in favor of MPSS that I use for "winter" tires in mild California. Brakes should last until next season, absent doing a winter track day or two.

Sounds perfect. Look forward to your driving impressions and maybe share some more pictures.

I'm interested in hearing if you were able to weigh the Signature wheels without tires and how they compare in weight to the OEM wheels.

Did not weigh them against OEM. I was originally purchasing a set of Forgeline 19" wheels and the previous shop that was working on the car encouraged me to purchase the Signature Wheels. I don't think they are very light per say and I have found them to have too much flex for track use. Otherwise they have a good design. I will most likely be changing and keeping these as an extra set.

Whenever you're ready for that next set that's a bit more focused on track performance give us a holler. BBS, Forgeline, or HRE will be my top recommendations.
