Bon Bon - Thanks for the input. Do you know what size (19x11/19x12?) and rear offset. Curious to see what my specs are in relation to yours. Thanks!

Bon Bon is infamous around these parts
Well, the offset I'm running is aggressive, but I'm not complaining that I had to roll the arch lips. The problem I have is with the physical top of the arch, it rubs across the entire width of the tyre given a heavy enough compression such as the foxhole, and the issue with the tyre being cut was with metalwork mid-arch, not on the outside.

11j et27 offset Cargraphics, I don't feel 11j is optimal for the 305 cup either, since I have a ton of sidewall flex under heavy cornering. 997 gt3 runs 305/30 on a 12j so if I stay 19" I will at least go to a 12j. I feel it needs it, at the moment I have to run pretty high pressures to retain stability with the cups.

As for ride height, I've played around with it a bit, here's a photo of how it was after the nurburgring...



And now after goodwood, lowered in the rear a little for a flat circuit, although cornering so a little distorted....
