Personally I think I'm going to go with the Bridgestone. RE11s 265/35 for the front and 285/30 on the rear, it seems that will be the best combination of getting more contact in the rear while also reducing understeer. Any thoughts on that logicc? I'm far from a pro in this area.
I retract my previous comment.
I thought the sport wheels were 10-1/2", but after doing a search, it turns out thats only for the Nismo. with the above, 285 series is the max for a 10" wheel without risk of failure or premature wear. Too wide a tire on a narrow wheel will put stress on the shoulders of the tire wall, which could result in excess heat build-up.
