Well... I am afraid that my car made the decision for me... I was looking at my tires and found that the rubber was cracking at the tread blocks. Not safe to drive definitely not safe to autocross :bangwall: . So, I had to get street tires for it first. I went with 205/45-16 S-drives. They were in stock and could be fitted prior to the autocross. So... with this I will be getting Star spec's on the daisies at a later date. :*(
Cones fear me... The timing lights, they just laugh.

Well in that case, maybe you could save up for wheels and tires? 15x8 with 205/50 or 15x9 with 225/45 maybe? 8-)
