I mostly went with the 16" setup not only because I love the way it looks, but also because this is a daily driven car on terrible roads in Denver, CO, so the taller sidewall makes it a bit more bearable on the track suspension (more cushion for the pushin!)
I was thinking of doing 245/45/16 on those wheels. Should fit even on stock suspension since the offset is 25. There's really only one non-track tire that is made in that size however and that's the Bridgestone RE-11 which was what I'm going to buy anyway as that's what I'm currently running already (in 225/40R18). I also guess 245s would fit on the 8" wide wheel.
