Did you end up with 265 on the front and 335 on the rear? What is your front rim width? 9 inches?

So far they feel fine.. the car is certainly "stiff" though.
I ended up with 255s on the front. When put next to the 275 RA1s I took off the car they were less than 1/4 inch narrower. The 265s were wider than the old 275s.. go figure.
Eventually I will have the front rims made 1 inch wider (to the inside) and run the 275s.. for now this will do.

What finish in on the front upper a arms ? sanded and powered - or sanded and cleared ? PS, you did a great job on colors and metal finish choices. I know you spent a bunch of time on those choices and it really shows. It's always in the details !
Can't wait to hear and see her run the course ! You going to do any performance testing on her like lateral tests or anything ? Just wondering if she will crest the 1 G mark.

Upper control arms are just smooted (casting lines removed) and then brushed.
Yea, testing is planned. I start tuning the suspension next week. Will keep ya updated.
