Thanks, Muckman!!!
FYI, for anyone looking to get some tires, America's Tire/Discount Tire is running $100 rebate on 7/1-7/2 for any 4 tires bought and installed! I'll be ordering my Star Specs on FRIDAY! On top of that, Dunlop is running rebates, too!

I finally got some direzza sport z1 star specs to replace the dz101 I originally had. 205/50 on 15x8 is perfect. I'm going to consider 225 in the front when I start tracking her.
2000 EM1, rear fenders rolled, fronts untouched. -1.7 camber in front/rear
I'll get a proper shoot done for you guys soon.

Yeah I know the 7.5 would be better for the tire sizes. But im arguing in my head if the benefit is worth the cost, at $80 more a set and I imagine 1-2 lbs heavier? In the grand scheme of things 80 isnt a lot of money, but am I really going to be any faster on a marginally wider wheel?
They will be my autocross (ST so no 8") wheels with 205 XS's.

Between the 2 wheels, the narrower and lighter 7" will make straight line acceleration slightly better. But the wider 7.5" buys you more grip in the turns, and autox is all about turns! In the end, you're gonna be faster around the course because of the greater lateral grip.
