So... basically there are few side effects with these Rotas and 245/35-17's?

Well... if you consider the weight penalty, expensive tires, machining of wheels, and fender rolling a "few" side effects, then yes.

We discussed this a few days ago on AIM, that you felt there was indeed a weight penalty that very significantly affected acceleration, and that tire pressures would have to be fine tuned to see improved results on the track.

Yes, I really saw no decrease in times on autox. But I was definitely steadily improving throughout the day and by the time I finished my last Fun Run, I was a full second and a half faster than my fastest competition time. I'm not quite sure about tire pressures just yet.

This lead me to believe that everyday driving quality would be diminished or there would be no discernable improvement around town.

No improvement. Can't say there's a diminished ride quality.

What about on the highway?

Same as above.

Also... would a BBK clear these rims, since they're designed for Sti's?

I would think so.... but I can't be sure.
