With people breaking axles as it is, going with a wider tire and heavier wheel would mean more stresses on the axles if you are going to be tracking the car. Personally I wouldn't go wider than 17x9.

I was reading another thread and I think I'm going to source another set of stock PP rims and put some 225s. I'll need to figure out a good hybrid tire good for autox and lapping. So, no A7.

If I want to stick with the OEM 17x7.5 rim, what's the widest tire I can go on it without rubbing? 225?

Explain that a bit more. So, with 17x9 and 245's on a stock suspension, where should I expect tire rub? Fenders or inside the wheel well?

Good advice, thanks. *checks autocross schedule* Like will stick with stock, maybe even with the prius tires.

For track day sticky rubber, would the rims fit the PP brakes?
