Default Tires- who's tracking with 245's and 315's?

I need new track tires and want to go with 245's up front and 315's on the rear. Who is using this combo? Any rubbing? Are you using spacers? What size rims?

Nitto NT-01's for me, but the question is for anyone using these sizes.

Amazing... Simply... They worked out well...

Here's a few pics of the setup on the car:




And a little footage of the last day before we loaded up and headed home:

Hadn't driven this car at this track in 18 months, and had made a boatload of changes (including the tires/wheels) to it, so I am still re-acclimating myself to the car...Still had a good time chasing that 2008 cupcar.

I plan on putting them on stock wheels, may have to use spacers. That is why I ask originally.

I've had 245s of a couple of brands on another set of stock wheels. Fitment worked and I had no issues with rubbing other than the already known requirement for adjustable thrust bushings.

Can you run a 245 in the front with stock thrush bushings or stock caster settings without any issues?

They are fine in my C4S with stock suspension and rims.
