Joe, you need to step up to some 12" or bigger wheels on your car. you can probably have your rears reworked by HRE (change lips).

If you would like to do some IForged wheels let me know, I got a SCREAMING deal on the ones I just ordered for my Supra (19X13 rears, 19X10 fronts) and could get you a good deal on them (not quite as good as what I got though).

I'll try to stop by the track Friday night to check out your new beast!

Fikse will do customed wheels 13" rear so you can use 335 tires. These are much lighter and stronger than HRE and may save you a few tenths of a second.

Will 355's on a 13" wheel fit a GT2? I went from 335/30/18's Pilots on stock 18X13's on my Viper to 355/25/19's Pirellis on 19X13 and they look much better (tire is not stretched on the wheel) and the car has a lot more traction and feels like it handles better.

I think 12 is as big as you can go, with a 335.

Gotcha. Have you looked to see how much extra room you have (inside and outside)? If it has 12's stock I wouldn't be surprised if you could do 13's.

335's on 12" wheels looks nice, that what I have on my Supra right now.

Just got it confirmed, 12 with a 335 is the max without alteration to the car.

From what I've been told, the GT2 can accomodate a larger wheel/tire. I ran 12" wheels with 335's on my TT for a track event and they rubbed through the wheelwell and a boost hose
