Does LPSP allow update backdate? I'd go play in DSP if cost was a concern, the car makes good power on E85 and not cutting the fenders should keep you on <275 tires. A 315/30/18 BFG is more expensive than a 275/35/17 A7.

But if competitiveness isn't a priority play with whatever tires make you happy.

Ballasting up to minimum weights is the way to go, from autox to F1.

Edit, you don't even need to remove the spare to be underweight for XSA, just run half a tank of gas, this car is pretty well poised for XSA.

i didnt even think about adding weight. you can probably stack up a bunch of aero or run these bad boys
