Default SPC spec tire for 2018?

My search skills are letting me down, and I can't find the answer to this simple question: What is the spec tire for SPC for 2018?

Since a lot of people run the 8x10 et40 OZ Alleggerita on the Rear, just a heads up, with the 295/30/18 R7 it will rub on the spring perch. Et38 on my Forgelines fits perfect.
So with the OZs you will probably need a 3mm spacer, check before ruining a set of tires.
This was on JRZ Rs Pros, but I am sure it will be close to the same with the SPC JRZs.

We have a SPC e-mail list; pm me or post your address on here if you would like to be added. We share most current info, such as... spec tire : )

is there a forecast out there for the approx numbers of SPC expected to grid at the more popular east coast PCA races in 2018?

Any thoughts on forecast numbers beyond 2019?

Thanks. A couple of years out but good to hear class is growing. Hopefully healthy by the time I'm ready to find a spec class.

Last year was slow growth. Seems like we've picked up a bunch over the last couple months though.

We're producing wheels specifically for SPC; 18x9" ET46, 18x10" ET36. As noted above, it has been notoriously tricky and/or expensive for racers to find spacer-free wheels in the correct specifications for SPC. You can view the pricing, features, and all other details of our SPC-specific wheels on our Group Buy page - HERE!

I've seen an increasing amount of SPC here in NorCal. Looking forward to seeing some at NASA's Sonoma event on June 16/17th!

Our pre-order Group Buy is running through June 28th, and we expect to have wheels shipping in early September. While it may be sooner, I'd rather underpromise and overdeliver on our time-frame rather than vice versa. Please note that wheels are shipped in the order of which pre-orders are received, so the sooner you "pledge" for your set(s), the sooner they'll be delivered.

This said, part of our success within the BMW motorsports crowd can be attributed to our wheel availability. Once produced, our wheels are stocked on the shelf in great quantity and ready to ship in less than a day’s notice. We’re able to bypass the notorious 6-8 week lead time required by many companies, which has allowed us to get racers their wheels before a track weekend.

Thank you for letting me know. Does THIS work? Please let me know if you have any additional questions or comments.
