Next year I'm bumping up to a Wedsport TC105N Square setup on 18x10.5 +12 front and rear and aiming to fit 305 width pilot sport cup 2 tires for the track.

The R888's seem like a fad anymore, there are grippier tires out there like what you are going to run.

I also used a lot of goo-gone to remove adhesive residue from some old weights that fell off. Then used Griots wax to shine the wheels up and meguiars NXT coating on the tires.

True, there are grippier tires, but the R888's have 2 things going for them. They are cheap, and they come in damn near every size.

Well still have the road course setup w the rpf1s on 285/35 square tires but decided to get a set of drag tires/ wheels for the rear

Here are Mickey Thompson ET street radials in 305/35/18 on 18x10.5 +15 wheel. Required a bit more pulling of the fenders than my road course setup but came out nice zero rubbing even on the prepped drag pavement

This is the exact setup I'm looking for.......More plz!!!

If so can someone post up pix?

I think so, but would require more ride height than I currently have and the same amount of camber I have, but set at the taller height. Much better off running a 295/30-18 , it's a great front tire
