I'm trying to avoid rubbing as this is an all round daily driver that may seem some autocross for fun. I'm looking at having a flexible wheel size that lets me migrate between High Performance tires and a all season offering. The down select to fit my year round billet is the Michelin Sport All Season 4.
Initially I had my sights set on the Rota Grids because while I LOVE the TE37 Volk styling I don't have TE37 money. Problem is all the tires I'm finding that fit my all round performance 4 season category are in the 18 inch variety. Currently the car has 16 inch rims on it which I plan on using for winter tires. But at the moment
I feel like an idgit because I can't seem to find a all season performance tire in the 17 inch variety. Anyone with any input would be much appreciated, even if its a link to an already existing thread. The car has General tire "Tiger Paws" on the 16 aftermarket rims on it now from the dealer and even with the stage 1 cobb tune it easily exceeds the grip of the tires. Plan on running those all summer as they are "free" rubber if possible but want to come strapped for next summer.
I'm also not unopposed to going with LW rims, and not dead set on the Rota Grids. Just looking for the wheel size that gives me the most flex on performance tires. I'm keeping the 16s for winter tires and will run the nice rims for two season tire or autocross.
