What 'new' 17x9 wheels are you going to? I'm thinking of stepping up to 18x9 so that I can run either STU or BSP/SM with a competitive tire.

Re: So what are your winter mods ?

Check out this picture from Nationals. This was taken on Day 1, East course, with Amy driving:


(click for bigger pic)

Note the left rear wheel camber. Looks a little positive, eh? Car is loaded up in a hard right hand turn. Front outside wheel looks perfect - still has a tiny bit of neg camber, which radials tend to work well at. Front to rear loaded camber difference is significant.

Might need to rethink rear camber settings... still, too much camber out back and we lose forward traction.

edit: better pic:
