I've already purchased a turbo kit and am just getting everything in order and putting a few more miles on the car before installing. The main thing I have left is wheels/tires. I was originally thinking of going 18x8s with 245 Pilot Super Sports but am I now worried I might be "over-tiring" the car for my intended goals. I'm only planning on running 8 psi with a conservative tune. I'm not chasing any kind of whp numbers, I just want to turbo the car purely for my enjoyment.
Is anyone still running 215s or 225s with low boost on a max performance summer tire like the Pilot Super Sports? Did you have traction issues? Did you still feel like you had control of the car when you needed it?
I looked at 235s but there were not a lot of options and they looked to be more expensive than comparable 245s and I would still need to get wider wheels anyway.

245s would definitely be a better option but take tire compound into affect as well. I know people who run 245 tires on a N/A car and I believe 245 would be even better for a boosted car as well.
