So I am in a dilemma, MOney mainly being the primary issue haha. Ill see what you guys think.

Backstory, Picked up the BRZ last april, so coming up on our anniversary here soon.
Ran a few events out at cresson as well as started autocrossing. Over the last year I have added:
Eibach pro kit springs
18x8.75 wheels on ventus v12s
JDL Header
JDL overpipe
JDL Mid
Perrin cat back
Custom OFT Tune from shiv

I could tell last year that tires were definitely holding me back. Everyone is saying go with R71Rs so that is the plan. But then comes money...

Regardless I will be picking up at least a set for Autocross/track only, but the question is:

do I buy the tires for my old stock wheels and use them for track ant autox only, or is it really worth it to wait until i can afford wider (most likely RPF1s) track wheels and tires.
Do we think the stock size width to aftermarket width is making that much of a difference, or do you guys think it is negligible between the two.
I guess the question is, What kind of times were we seeing last year from c street cars vs stx cars (on stock wheels) with racing tires.
