No matter what I do, my car ultimately seems to be limited by front grip, and I'm hoping 40mm more tire and less weight will be just the ticket. What backspacing did you end up with on the 18x11 front wheels? And did they rub anywhere? Trying to figure out my wheel options ... And of course I understand I still need to measure for myself 
Thanks much for any info,

Hey Scott thanks for the props! I love Thunderhill and can't wait to go back and am pretty pleased with that lap. We've made some more improvements and I'm hoping for a 57 next year with some luck
Come by and say hi at an event sometime.
We are running 18x11s up front with 6 1/4 backspace and it is a very tight fit in and out. If we had gone a quarter inch more or less it would have been bad as right now there is just light rub on both sides of the tire.
Another little tip on the Anvil stuff is to run it on the car for a bit before doing paint/bodywork if possible as it does seem to shift and settle at first. Ours did fit pretty well though so no complaints.
Any more questions just let me know!
