You didn't tell me what kind of tire. And I would think for Autox and the stock class, you want to get as much tire under the car a possible. I wanted to what the widest tire I can fit on the stock rims with out rubbing. Thanks in advance guys!

A little late in this sorry.....

I ran my car Nationally in G-Stock. I ran 245/45-17 Kumho V710's on Enkei's (17x7, stock size). They are obviously very tall and very wide! It was the only Kumho option though.

I had very minimal rubbing issues. A little bit of the inner fender well had some coating rub off and I would occasionally pop out a fender liner clip.

Next year I will be running Hoosiers. I am going to test between the 245/40-17 and 225/45-17 to see which suits me better.

For street tires, I personally would opt for a 225/45-17. The top street tires right now are the Yokohama Neova AD07, Bridgestone RE-01R, Falken RT-615 and Hankook RS-2.

The Goodyears i mentioned above will probably be what i end up going BACK with after winter
they are superb in the dry and great in the rain.

Goodyear GS D3's are the autocrossers street tire/rain tire choice! They are perfect for the street and offer the best rain "grip" for a street tire.

The Falken's do give up a lot in terms of wet grip, but they are parsecs better in the dry than the Goodyears.

From what I have read/heard, the Bridgestone's are decent in the rain, but are more of a dry tire, much like the Falken.

I have personal experience with the Hankook RS-2. They were cheaper than the Falken, lasted a long time and good in the rain. They were not as good in the dry though as the sidewall is fairly soft and there was a lot of tread squirm compared to the Falken.
