So after some more due diligence on track tires and wheels, it looks like I'm going to try:

Enkei PF01's

Four: 17x9 +60

Tires: Wrapped in 255 Star Specs

Thought on possible rub? I could always go down to 245's...

I ran this exact same setup, unrolled fenders, lowered about half an inch on Tien S Tech springs. No rubbing either on fender, fender liner, or inside of the frame. YMMV.

Exactly what I needed to hear! Ordering tonight!

Here's a picture that illustrates the ride height, just in case you were curious:

Wow, the black on white looks fantastic, and with the slight drop the stance is just right. I'm sold. Thanks very much for the photo proof, definitely nice to have an idea of what mine should look like before I pull the trigger.

Hey Kenny. Do you know of that PF01 set up was bbk friendly? I know you went to the forgestars at +58. Do they rub etc? And those are bbk friendly I believe. Would like to get rims and ohlins this year and eventually st40 bbk.

You're welcome, I have a bunch more pictures of the car with those wheels (and the current Forgestars) over in my build thread if you want to see more of how it sat.

As far as the Forgestar's, the 17x10's are much more BBK friendly, they will clear the Stoptech ST40 but will require to do a fender roll (and you will probably get some rubbing on the frame rail at full lock). Much more info in that thread as to which BBK fits and what (if any) spacer you would need.
