Another shot, but now with 305/30/18 tires on all four corners on 18x10 RPF1s.

Thanks! That's why I have them as my DD wheels.
There were no tires in the Extreme Summer Tire Category that were in the size of 255/45/17. The current size I was driving on were 275/35/18 tires, which were about 3.7% shorter than stock. I wanted to to keep the same gearing like I had for the 275/35/18, so I went with a 245/45/17 tire instead of a 255/40/17 tire, which would shorten my stock gearing by 6.5%.
Maybe I'll try a 255/40/17 tire after I go through these sets. Right now I'm just trying to re-learn the car on skinny tires and don't want to introduce too many variables in the learning process.

Most of my region's course design are wide open and fast. However, I can see how the shorter 255/40/17 would help with the tighter and slower course designs. My 2nd gear would top out at 67 mph with the 255/40/17 tire instead of 69 mph with the 245/45/17 tire. But my main concern, is putting the power down. I won't know which set-up works for me till I go out there and drive.

OK, I don't get it - where did I go wrong -was going to mount the new PF01's (with +15, similar to a lot of the RPF01 setups I've seen on this thread)and look how much they stick out from flush -here are shots or rear 10.5 +15
front
rim sizes are 9.5 front and 10.5 rear +15 on all four. Isn't this size and spec similar to mosrt oif the RPF01s on this thread - and they don't appear to stick out anywhere near to what are doing. Obviously have to have these exchanged, very disappointing day.
iffest, and before tires got mounted,

IMHO, a +27 on a 10.5" wheel is about where one wants to be. You can run just about any size tire without rubbing/rolling and still not look tucked. So figure you are only 12 mm off that.... 12mm isn't that much, maybe a bit more than the width of your finger
