I imagine there will be some variability here in opinions...maybe give your top two. Base them on traction, weight, price and aesthetics (in order of importance). Non-spacer wheels w/ 4x100 bolt pattern preferred.

I think a big clarification needs to be made. What class would this be for? Street tires? R-Comps? or Slicks? I would say for R-comps the Hoosier A6 in a 275/35 15 with some custom 15x9 or 15x10s...and some crazy flares to cover them.- Brenden Selvig

cheap, light and effective. you RWD guys will need a small spacer up front to clear the strut but it's not a big deal (you should have studs if you are changing wheels often anyway).:: PNW Crew ::

Ive got two sets of A3S05's in this size. Should last me until the end of this season, lol :(

275/35/15. 15x10's. What I beleive would be the best grip to weight ratio....
285/30/18 on 18x10's. Heavier and taller. A little big bigger contact patch. Gearing concerns come up. For better or worse--same deal with all choices actually.
All out no holds barred don't car what it looks like and I have a shit ton O'HP, so I need it combo.................18x10's 285/30/18's in front 17x11's 315/35/17's in the rear..........315 is quite a bit taller but with alot of HP and gearing that doesn't matter. Stick to the shorter 285 up front.....
With the new breed of tire, you are faster with a big cool tire, than a small smokin' hot tire. Temperature concerns come up from old timers using the older Hoosier autox tire.sigpic

What does the rear quarter area look like structurally inside the rear outter skin and between the inner fender? I wonder how much you can lower the car with a 25.5" tall tire back there......FWIW a 305/30/18 is a little shorter than a 315.
I'm still kickin' around the idea of goin' the steam roller route.sigpic
