I got an additional set of stock wheels on the cheap and put 225/45 ZII's on them for autocross. If I weren't on a budget, I probably would have gone with a x8 wheel and a 235 or a 245. That being said, the 225 is fantastic, with loads of grip.

I think anything you pick in the 225-245 range is going to be good. Skinnier is lighter and heats up faster, but has a slightly smaller contact patch. Does it really matter for the average weekend racer? Probably not much.
