It's been a couple cold months mixed in with the holidays, so I haven't had much time to do anything with the car. I do have a quick update now however.
I ordered wheels and tires about a month ago and they showed up yesterday. I mounted a rear wheel to check fitment and all is good. In fact, I could have gone wider. These are a 17x9.5 with a 275/40/17 BFG Sport Comp 2. I've got a solid inch and a half inboard that I'm not using. I may check fitment of these up front and order a 10" wheel with a 285 tire for the rear.
Glass service is coming out on Friday and will be installing front and rear glass. I've got to replace a single stud on the driver front rotor and then I'll be able to take it for a quick shakedown to make sure I don't have any rub issues.
Getting ever closer!

Wow, that is really nice. The Torq Thrust IIs look really good. Don't think I would worry about width for now although it is nice to be able to have more later. I'm impressed how well the wheel/tire package goes with the car. More pics when you get time?

You're probably right. Since these will also end up being my track wheels, sizing is better for more common r compound tires. Once the glass goes in on Friday and I get the rest of the wheels mounted, I'll be sure to get some higher quality photographs!
