Will R6 315/30 19s fit on the GT3RS wheels and not hit the body?

315/30/19's do fit, I don't know the RS offsets unfortunately though but the stock 19x12" wheel works using the factory spacer but is very close and I have -2.8 degrees of camber.

So for our events that are often 3-5 lap sprints, would these A6 be the best choice? I've also got some full slicks but I don't think these get up to heat soon enough for our style Sprint events. I've got some
R6s, but I've wondered what sort of wear characteristics you'd get with the A6s on the track? Unfortunately we pay a lot more for car stuff over here. eg 18x295 = $550 each so if the A6 would only last a few meetings then it's not worth it.

I'm thinking the same thing, I have a time trial event coming up in July and am considering either the A6 or the soft compound Hankook. I would plan on heading out and doing my hot lap within the first 3 laps.

The A6's really don't seem to last any less than the R6's. I don't have anything to directly compare them with but both of us thought the tires were good for about 12-15 heat cycles. both of them cycle out before cording if you're doing 20 minute runs.

Thanks Brian, that's the info that I have been getting as well.
