Do you have any thoughts on what tires I should get for my stock rims in order to improve things a little? These need to be all-season tires, though, as we get snow up here on occasion.
I have 15x6.5 stock rims (see sig) which I really like. I don't want to up-size the rims since this will mean that they will be heavier and I will loose power.
I installed the H&R wheel spacers in order to achieve the increase in handling properties one would expect from up-sizing to 17s… this also equalized my front to rear track (the stock track is 61.2” front and 60.4” rear) making the car a lot more balanced. In fact I had 17x7 rims with toyo t1 proxies on my car for a couple of days and find this setup better (a friend let me try them and I thought the car was too sluggish).
The only issue is that the stock tires blow... they scream whenever I corner.
