I'm going to order some track tires (most likely the Dunlop R) and wanted to see what my options were. Most of the archive talk is about 19's or using a wider rim...thanks.

Default I have 245/40/18 on my Avus wheels. I have noticed
that it rubbed 1 time with 4 passengers on a sharp uphill negatively banked corner @ 45mph.

Default I don't believe that it will be a problem with only a driver,as long as
the car isn't lowered, but I have never taken my car to the track.

Default Will probably stay stock size as this pic shows I prolly would've rubbed @ Laguna...
It looks like my suspension is pretty compressed so I'm wondering if I would've rubbed at this point?
