I'd like to pick up a track set of wheels/tires. The plan is to trailer and swap at the track while keeping my alignment and suspension setup the same, with the exception of tightening the dampeners (Tein Flex Z). Perhaps one day I'll update the suspension and convert this car to a dedicated tracker.
Quick note. I'm running a JRSC.
For now I'm looking at the
ENKEI RPF1
or
JR 949Racing 6UL (leaning towards this)
What width and backspacing do you recommend? I'm open to staggered sizing.
Any tires suggestions to research?

I've been extremely happy with Enkei RPF1's in 17x8.5 +45mm (which are 1.5lbs lighter each than the 6UL's) with 245/40-17 Direzza Star Specs. I daily them, drive straight to the track, hot lap, and drive home.
The assembly is only 4oz heavier than stock at each corner, the SS's are cheap enough to bring one to the track as a spare (sits high in the spare well), clears the AP Racing Sprint Kit up front with no spacer, and are a joy to drive.
