But wait until next year, over the winter I am installing a Quaife LSD and will have Vintage Wheels machine me a pair of 18x12's so I can run 335's. Then we will see..... 
So let me quantify my original statement. "I would love to see a few guys come out and watch me pound NON_Pro Class resto-mod Camaros into the ground.

What tires are you running, Falken 615's in 275x17 would be good for autox with your current rims. If you go 335x18 you will most likely have to run Rivals which are not so good cold especially in a light car. We use Falken 615's 315x18 on 11 x 18 which works well. You probably know this but Mike has been doing some suspension tuning lately and has gotten faster yet.
I think there will be a lot more tire choices in 200 TW in 2015 because of SCCA adopting the 200 TW standard. There are much better tires than Falken and Goodrich but not in our sizes yet. Rival will also have a new autox compound so they might be great next year, hard to tell though.
