I run the Yoko A032 (235/35/17 f & 275/35/17 r) and like them a lot.

Like you, Dave, I'm running RA-1 on my stock size 15"/16" tires and I'm very happy with them. Plus, I can fit the tires inside the car with my jack and helmet and overnight bag and all my track equipment, and drive to the track on my street tires. This all fits inside (photo was taken when I was using Yoko A032R, before switching to the Toyos):

With wide tires like 235 and 275, you will have to trailer the car or drive to the track on your track tires.

I'm running SSR Comps 17x7.5 42mm f & 17x9.5 42mm r.

You will NOT be ablae to fit a 235 on the stock +55mm offset. It will be too far into the wheel well, and cause rubbing. My friend runs a 17x8.0 +44mm with a 235-40-17, and that works great.

I'm running the RA1's for the track with SSR GT1's in.

17x8-235-40-17
17x9-275-40-17

they only rub slightly in the front when turning the car around or backing it up at full lock not on the track here is a shot of them.
