Possible to share interior pics of your car please? And info on the VAC mounts.

Lastly whats your take on the 255 slightly taller (than 245) tires with the gearing?

Cheers,

Lutfy

PS: My build: 550/550lbs MCS DA with TRD bars, OFT flash, 17*9 wheels (245 RE71R consideration so far...), APR 200 rear wing, APR front splitter, Autopower roll bar. Considering race seats/base with Schroth harness. Will be doing TTD at VIR in Aug.
I'll get some interior pictures when I get home from work. I haven't been to a MA event in a few years. I'm the Chief Instructor for the NE region so my schedule is filled all season but I plan on getting to VIR next season.
I had concerns about the taller tires but I honestly haven't noticed much of a difference other than my speedo reads slower now. The increased grip is very noticeable coming from a 235 Maxxis on a 8" wheel.

Good stuff. This is with a 45mm offset wheel I presume? No spacers? Based on your feedback, I may try out the 255 instead then as I have a point to spare in TT. THANK you!
