Just pick up some rear Style 68M wheels off an E46 330i sport pack car, 17x8.5 ET50, and throw on some 275/40 radials. Done.

NT555Rs (245/45R17s) on DR-37 wheels... Lucky enough, they match up well with my Apex EC-7s.

They hook real well on the street even on e85. And the ride actually feels better than my 18" Pilot Sport A/S 3s, probably due to the meatier side wall.

Still waiting on the track to open back up in February for the real test though.

Haven't been to the track with them unfortunately.

Just for comparison... I've managed to get 1.9x 60ft times at the track with my 275/35r18 Pilot Sport A/S 3s, and the Nittos hook a lot better on the streets than the Michelins.
