I'm gonna end up ordering 19's for the GTR, will try the Hoosiers first, then the skinny slicks and see which is faster, I'll report back later this year.
I’m sure you will

Just as a side note while I was getting My SC2 ZP's installed the other day I had the tire shop weigh the stock RXC rims.
I am going to get a set of track rims, I just want to make sure whatever I get will be an improvement over the stockers.

Front: 18.8lbs
Rear: 22.0lbs

The OEM wheels are forged and very light weight; they are fantastic wheels, just expensive as hell.

My Signature SV501s are 20lbs front and 22lbs rear.

BTW: you will find the ‘street’ ride characteristics of the ZP tyres to be relatively poor, especially on broken up roads due to their decreased compliance versus the OEM SC2. I drive with them at 28 psi cold, which helps a little. However I’m very glad to have the SC2s back on the OEM wheels for the street, and the ZPs on the 501s for the track.

Yeah, I googled your SV501's the other day, pretty sure I will go with the same rim. How is your fitment? Referencing the stock rims, looks like they could be pushed out a bit.

I stayed with the exact OEM specs since the ZP tyres are of course wider and fit perfectly when mounted on the car IMHO. Plus I didn’t want to have any issues with rubbing. Pix soon.

18 inch wont fit the rear due to the rear steer.

According to this photo the AMG GT4 c190 does also have the same rear steer as the GTC/GTR c190 ….so maybe the rims will fit ?!

18’s won’t fit unless you go with a completely new (smaller) brake set up, like the GT4.
