Please help with choosing r-comp tires and track wheels

I included the 245/40/18 in case any of them don't clear the brakes due to their shape.
I've noticed that there are a lot of others asking about what wheels fit without rolling fenders, so it would be nice to have a list of known good sets. I know that there are already threads about how low of an offset you can go, but I am not looking for that. I just want to find out how big I can safely go and I don't care about being flush.

The most important question yet.
If you're going for BS, then your wheels are limited to the stock width with a little bit of wiggle room for offset.
This.
If you were to run Hoosier A6's on the stock alignment you'd be lucky to get 20 hard runs on them.
You want at least -3* of camber up front before you start thinking r-comps honestly. Plus the car is a ballistic understeer pig with the stock alignment.
And... you HAVE to roll your fenders. Almost all rcomps run wide, so a 265 is going to rub most likely (especially with the stock alignment).
An R1 is going to suck for autocross. You rarely will get the tires warm enough to do any good. You want Hoosier A6's or Kumho v710's for autocross.
For the track you want, R1, RA1, NT01, v710, R6, A6 (if you're made of money), R888.
You can paint RPF1's matte black... They are cheap, light and the offset (protip, get +15 and roll your fenders) isn't that bad.
