Tarmac IIs, 17x7.5 and 225/45/17 for the tires; STX legal width and all that. Plus any wider risks the odd scrub on a wagon. Should be OK with these since my Proxes 4s are on the same wheel at the moment.

Picking them up from Subydude on Thursday. Should be enough time to break them in before Oakland.

Beware of the white Impreza L with the CF hood. He is a beast!!

Other than that... read the stuff on the SFR SCCA Solo website. They have a good write-up of things.
