Default autox wheel and tire help

I want an extreme summer tire with atleast a 235 width but they are only made upto 225 for 15 and 16 inch wheels which is what I want. 17s have alot of options for wider tires but I dont want 17s really. I need some input on 17s for autox on an integra. Maybe 225 is good enough but they say wider is better lol.

I believe nitto makes a 245 15", however its not going to last long at all compared to even most other "street" tires. This has always been the battle with 15's, unless you go slicks you pretty much have to go with the bigger wheels.

I run a local class called IMS. The only restriction is you have run street tires with a treadwear greater than 140. My car is 95 ls
