I'm having trouble making a decision, so thought I'd see if you guys want to all try to force your opinions on me. If I find myself agreeing or disagreeing it will help me figure out what's right for me.


Car: 2019 Toyota 86 GT

Problem (in order of importance):


1) Grip on stock 215 tires is borderline dangerously bad, especially for how I drive and some of the canyon roads I drive on. This has also kept me from wanting to autocross, which I will do maybe once a year.

2) Negative camber resulting from lowering on TRD springs has made the stock wheels appear way too sunk in.
3) I just hate the way the stock wheels look.


Options I'm considering:
1) Replacing stock tires; 215, maybe can do 225?
Advantage: Cheap
Disadvantage: Everything else

2) 17x7.5" Matte Grey TRD forged wheels; 225, maybe can do 235 but not a lot of options there
Advantage: Maintains fairly stock appearance, saves a couple lbs on wheel weight, keeps car in stock autox class
Disadvantage: Lot of money for a minimal increase in tire width; wheel design is just 'ok'

3) 17x9" Weddsport tc105n; 245 seems the most I can do without risking hitting the suspension
Advantage: Widest tire option without sacrificing drive ability, weight not changed materially from stock
Disadvantage: Looks clearly aftermarket / I'm 40 and work an executive job



I've firmly decided already that I don't want to go larger than 17" due to road quality on my daily commute and various issues a smaller sidewall presents. Also decided I want Bridgestone RE-71s in all scenarios possible.


Obviously option 1 has some cost advantages. Options 2 and 3 I can do for about the same price.



Thoughts? Experiences? Judgement? Trolling?
