    I have a few specific questions I have not been able to find searching the net.

    I want full on slicks on a 458 as I don't want to destroy street tires. There are no 20' slicks available that I found from anyone, Hoosier/MT/etc. Can I size down my wheels to 19' HRE/ADV/etc and get the available 19' slicks? Or will the 19's not fit because of brakes/etc?? I would rather get new spare 20' wheels and mount slicks on them, but I can't find any tires.

    Anyone ever done this before???

    You best bet might be whatever they are using on the 458 Challenge cars.

    You can run 19", they will fit over the brakes. I know someone who is planning to do the same, and we found 19" wheels can be built to work.

    The Challenge cars run center lock wheels. The BBS wheels are nice though!

    Yes, 458 Challange cars use 19's with center lug. They are also probably $25,000. :( It's a 458, not a Veyron. :)

    I think I will be going with D2 Forged wheels. 19inch. I will let you guys know how it goes.
