    No problem man, let me know. Some day, modern tires like the PS2 and such will be the only option...unless Coker tire starts making new Pirellis :)

    Nah - not swayed by the agents... but the Pirelli rep on the FNA rally a couple years ago (I THINK it was the Napa one) was upset when he showed up all proud as punch that he had packed the right tires for my car after seeing it on the list, but that I had put the 18" LM wheels on - for which he had nothing. Good thing I had no tire issues on that trip!

    But still - I'm looking for width information on the OZ Racing LM wheels. Anyone have a range of tires that will work? The car is at my mechanic's shop (not in mine) so I can't measure. She needs new shoes THIS week. I am going through serious withdrawals not driving her.

    What is the width? 11", or 12"? If that is the case a 335 or 345 will work.

    Update:

    Got the 335s on the back just fine. If someone starts making the 345s again, I'll move back to them. But with just 10MM difference on each tire, I'll be OK I guess. ;)

    Taking her to the dyno today to adjust the wastegate spring tension in conjunction with the new exhaust to optimize boost at a safe level. Then it's the Oregon Coast Cannon Beach run this weekend - rain or shine!

    Be sure to take pics!

    And aren't 335's the stock size anyway?

    Looks like the best matched set is the Michelin Pilot Sport PS2. But need to change fronts to 225/45ZR17, so narrower but same rolling radius.
