We'll probably end up with a rubber band tire setup like 225s on a 17x7 or 18x7 inch rim. Let's hope they do this right. That and keep it light (<2600 lbs).
I'm sorry, I must not reading it correctly... 275/40/17 tires on less than 200hp car?

Anyways, moving along...

putting heavier rotors? 11"~12" rotor isn't good enough for <200hp & +-2600lbs car?
