For sure I'd run 225/45-17 on 9", but yeah, I decided that if I was to get a couple of 215/45-17s they'd go on the factory 17x7.5 wheels.

If it boils down to not being able to get A052's, I'd rather be using a 245 RT660 vs a 215 A052.
Was on the fence about that. I'd get a weight break with the 215s on one end of the car and not have to add as much ballast. And also I do want the much greater wet grip of the A052s vs. the RT660.

But I just got notification that brand new 245/40-17 RE71RS are at the warehouse in CT So I'm totally good for Friday/Saturday at Thompson
