Nice. Thunderhill 3-mile is probably my favorite track. Wish it wasn't 15 hours away for me

Options for slicks (Hoosiers, Pirelli takeoffes, Continental surplus/discontinued tires) = good 18" selection.
Newer wide fast street tires (Goodyear Supercar 3R, Hankook RS4, Bridgestone RE71) = better in 19s (305/30/19s)
Take your pick.
As an added bonus, our 19" SM-10 wheels come in at a very comparable weight to our 18" EC-7s

The only two solid 18" R comps or 200TW tires that come to mind are the 305/35-18 NT01 and the 295/40-18 Hankook RS4 (too tall for some).

......How's your forged lineup coming along? Any timeline on it? I'm about to pull the trigger on another set of 18x12s... unless I shouldn't
Threadjack- Apex 18x12's? set up square w/ 25mm spacers on a S197?
That's what I run now, but I think 18x12s would be a pretty small segment for Apex to push.
To make 12s work, I used offset struts up front. The back has OEM configured shocks+springs/Watts link/bump stop bracket mod.
Unlike 18x11s, 12s take some mod work and you have to hack a Cortex setup together/apart to get the room up front. Tires fit under the fenders though and I think there's room for 13s with 335s in front. 13s in the back will poke and may take a fender pull to look okay.
I have the full Cortex set up and recently cut the back bump stops and did the relocation mod. I now run Apex 18x11's square with 15mm spacers rolling Pirelli 315's.
Aways hunting for more grip.... Are you going to the 7/3 Sonoma or MiniNats?
