What kind of camber and all are you running to not rub and or destroy your fenders.... I've had issues with my 245/40s on a 48 offset.

how is the paint currently on the wheels themselves?

looks like they cleaned up nice in some older pics, had wanted fliks forawhile, you're making a 4 hour trip tempting.

The finish on them is still good. I'm not sure what it is but they have that matte powdercoated-like finish from the factory and it's still like new.

Up front I run as negative as possible and in the rear I can get away with spec camber.

questions for meat:

- how much faster are these tires than the direzzas on the track?
- how do they perform in the wet?

If I had to guess I'd say about 5 seconds over a 2.5 minute lap. Hard to day because I've never run them back to back. It would also depend on the track.

As far as rain use: they shed water very well at full tread. I wouldn't run them in the rain after using them another 4 days or so. A lot of people use these or full treaded RA1's as rain tires.
