also, what meatballs do you have? They look like a good size - I thought about cutting mine for the doors like that but thought it might prompt that small section to fly up.

These wheels are actually available now in 17", which will give you a better selection of tires. Hoosier has a 325 X 45X17 that would probably last longer.
Depends on the track but should last maybe 3 track days at Lime Rock. These tires are 26.5 X 8-15 and 26.5 X 10-15. $185 and $195 before hand cutting. NLA with white letters. They come with yellow letters now...
Those meatballs are static cling, a set I got from:

He made a mistake as the set was supposed to be 2 smaller (10") roundels and 1 big one for the hood (12"). He sent 2 big ones, which actually worked beter for me. The cut piece on the door held up pretty well. I applied them first, then cut with a fresh Xacto blade. Cut flush with the front fender lip, then wrap the extra material around the door lip with a heat gun (carefully)
