225's all the way. Look at the SX2's from GT Radial. 260TW, cheap and decent tires to track on.

The original post was asking 215 or 225 for track but what you you guys run for the street? 215 or 225 on the stock pp 7.5 wide wheel?

Go with 225/45/17. Cant go wrong with either choice on the street, but 225 will give you the slightly wider look over the OEM 215 tire size.

I'd still say a 225.


225's look square on the 7.5" PP wheels. The 215's that came on it look stretched. Not sure why they went with the same 215 and same tires for the PP model. Cost and efficiency probably.


Honestly, 225's are not wide tires by any means.

Seconded - 215s look stretched on 7.5s and honestly it’s not a good look. They look malnourished. 225 is where it’s at!
