Good sticky and narrow tires like Toyo R888 will give you enough grip and very good steering response, and VERY predictable handling.

and yes, if you leave the standard suspension setup you will get big understeer on tracks...

I'd go with standard 18s for the track, 225/235 front and 245/255/265 rear
the problem is that there are not many track tires in this size range

now the question is, there are some cheap 18x8 and 18x9 wheels?

Sometimes I wish China would just become the superpower of the world already just so I don't have to listen to stupid **** like this anymore. 3 years out of the spot light should do it I think.

American's blah, American's blah blah blah. So over it.

Oh and just so you don't counter and say I am yet another American self proclaiming his country as a 'Superpower' country here...
