strat61caster hit the nail on the head when he mentioned it is all driven by brakes. Find the brakes you need for whatever you are doing and then find the smallest best tires and wheels that will fit over them. Lighter is always better, and if you are doing any type of track driving, the least expensive consumables are also a good idea.

All the 86's I drove in Japan had 17's. They offer 16's on the base model, and the JDM BRZ has offered 18's for a while on the tS and STI sport.

I have 17x8 RPF1s on my car with Michelin PSSs and have never had any traction problems with a stock engine.
