333pg333, I don't compete in any events, I've only been to the track a couple times. I'm hoping to do some DE's at Road Atlanta this year.
I will probably eventually get 17" wheels, but for now I'd rather spend $800 on tires rather than $1600+ for tires/wheels..
I'm considering Toyo Proxes RA-1 because they are a streetable r-compound tire. People get 5000+ miles out of them, even with a few track days.. that would be plenty for me.
Thanks for the responses all, I had thought a couple times about getting 245's up front, looks like that'll be the size choice when I do buy tires.

Ive fit 245's on the front of my car before with no issue. The only difference is i have smaller diameter springs and cut off the original spring perches. I dont think it would be a issue regardless.
