I can see autocross cars (STX or STR, who knows) coming in very light, but I don't know how much the stock wheels weigh to make a guess as to how much weight 245mm wide tires and 9" wheels would add back to the car.
Maybe removing audio/speakers, rear seats, manual booklet (1lb), and going to the gym might help too
