I plan on putting Nt01 for track but will be on a separate set of wheels. I am waiting until someone tries it out to see what the max you can fit is, I don't really feel like dropping 3k on wheels and tires and finding out they don't fit!

More track wheels are indeed coming to market indeed. TireRack has 18x9.5's for only @ $150 a corner...!!!

What about keeping the OEM wheels....

Has anyone kept the OEM wheels and replaced the OEM tires with super sticky icky compounds?

RE71's / NT01's / NT05's / R888's or...???

Did some more research...

Tire Rack sells the R888.
CLICK HERE to view them in OE sizes

The +1 sizes would be:
Front - 255/35/19
Rear - 275/35/19
Unfortunately, the Toyo R888 is not built in those size.

If you would like to see the options in the +1 sizes: CLICK HERE to view
In those larger sizes I would recommend considering the Bridgestone RE-71R. CLICK HERE to view that tire.

Any thoughts?

Go straight to Pirelli DH, you won't mess with stuff like NT01 anymore unless you want to drive to the track on them and not change tires. Make sure you have at least -3 degrees camber.
