Any track thoughts yet? I imagine the slicks really really help with times.

The Hoosiers are just in a different league than the MPSC2 (of course). Just finished a weekend at the National Corvette Museum Track. My best time on MPSC2 was 2:21.9 and with Hoosiers was 2:18.2.

Anyone else tried these wheels or are we still talking about cars and coffee?
They look amazing in the flesh and are fast! Ok, maybe it's me that's fast. Lol

So that's the consensus on the 265's up front? Better front grip, more oversteer, too much?
Did you need to add neg camber to get them flush or just a different wheel offset?
I'm thinking of doing 265/295 on an aftermarket 20" street wheel setup but don't want to run too much camber or add a bunch of aftermarket suspension parts to make it work. That's assuming the 265's are better. : )
It sounds like a 265 on 20" might be tough although it physically looks like it might work....

265 / 285 on 19" were very very good
at both Thunderhill and Laguna Seca
for me.
Turn in felt great to me.
I ran personal best laps at both tracks.
You need a good amount of camber
-3f, -2.5r
and toe for setup.
RE71 took about 2 sessions to wear
and started to get better as they
got more use.

I have -3.0f and -2.5r camber. No rubbing issues at all.
Only issue I had with the 19" wheels was the plastic front brake duct edge scraping the wheel weights only on braking and turning. I trimmed less than 1 cm off and everything is great now.
