+1 on Tire Rack, over the years I've bought several sets from these guys including a set for my GT3 a few months ago.

They will ship to installers local to you that are on their approved list, meaning "good shops that won't mess up your wheels".

I've used tire rack, discount tire direct, and my local america's tire store (discount tire) all with great results. I prefer the local shop, this place has the best customer service of ANY retailer of any type and are super careful with mounting, fast, helpful and will match internet pricing. For those in SoCal it's the americas tire in Westminster CA.

go to 325 rear and 245 front. I've done this on my NB GT3 and it works and looks great!

You should be ok with the 245/325 but if not use another tire, the RE11 seems to get good reviews for a street tire for track use so does RS3.

Ditto. Just ordered a set from Damon today for my S63. The site said they were out of stock, but he located a set and they are on their way. A+
