Jimmy (TheShopCT owner) watched the vid and, like me, was convinced it simply needs more initial traction now.

We just ordered (2) Enkei 18"x10" rims, and BF Goodrich drag radials (295/35x18). (Stock: 19"x8" and 245x19")

We were told we could not go to a smaller rim, due to the brake caliper clearance.

Overall tire diameter will be reduced by almost an inch, but that's OK: I still had a lot of 4th left. This is a good addition.

I will get the car in to be fitted later this week, but I won't be able to test for another couple of weeks due to work.

Elevens are in my future. I promise.
