Mostly DD with some parking lot autocross 3-5 times/year. 245/40 vs 225/45 - both will fit the wheel. Subjectively I like the fat look of the 245 but am worried I'd need a 5-10mm spacer to clear the stock strut and the steering feel will be meh/flexy since I'm at the smaller rim size limit.

I do have the FT electric SC which breaks the stock tires loose just by gunning it, but not a full turbo/SC setup.

I've been stuck on this for awhile - it's only 2cm. :P
AutoX? Go with the wider tire. You may need a spacer, but is that legal for your AutoX setup? If you get spacers, get ARP extended studs and open ended lugnuts.

I believe the RE71R supercedes the RE11A, but I have not yet tried them.
