    Hoosier is the maker of Continental racing tires. Continental will no longer be sponsoring the Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge next year, Michelin has taken that sponsorship at IMSA. The result is we can buy left over new Continental Race Tires now at a good price from Hoosier, and probably will only get better, as the 2018 season comes to an end. Not only are the prices good, exceptional really, but the shipping is very cheap. $15 total whether you buy 1 or a dozen. I've already received a bunch for my STI and Palatov, some of the available sizes may work for an 818. These are full on racing slicks in both wet and dry versions. They are not DOT approved for road use!

    Received our wheels a couple weeks ago. Team Dynamics ProRace 1.2. Fronts are 15x7 to prevent rubbing on the tub, rears are 17x9. Purchased through DemonTweeks in Wales, UK, and they shipped to Dallas. Was great working with them. Look forward to putting slicks on these:

    Mulry,
    I am also running Team Dynamic wheels. My size is 17 x 9 - 45 et on all four corners. My tires are 235/40 front and 255/40 rear. 15mm spacers on rear.
    Do your 15" front wheels have any problem fitting over the brakes. If you get a chance, can you take a picture of the brake clearance.
    Thanks
    Bob

    Front: 18x8 +45 Storm Grey Enkei Tuning TS-V
    Front: 215/35ZR18 Michelin Pilot Sport 4S
    Rear: 18x9.5 +45 Storm Grey Enkei Tuning TS-V
    Rear: 255/35ZR18 Michelin Pilot Sport 4S

    Running the VCP lower control arms for the extra clearance. Wheels currently hitting the rear upper control link. I am going to try putting both spacers to one side to offset the link for more clearance. If that does not give me enough, I'll consider adding 5mm or 10mm spacers in the rear.

    Update: Offestting the rear upper control links helped slighly, but it just doesn't feel right to install them that way. I am going to just order 10mm spacers for the rear with extended wheel studs. I test fitted using stacks of flat washers and 10mm will provide the needed clearance. I just hope they fit under the rear fenders. Won't know until I get the body all lined up and get the car aligned.
