I just thought I would let everyone know that I am very impressed with my Star spec tires. I went with a street set up that also proved to be excellent at the autocross course as well and I have not had any rubbing as of yet. I "upsized" to 18X8.5 rear and 17X7.5 in the front (Rota Torque rims) and I am running the 215/40/17 in the front and 255/35/18 in the rear. The combination looks great and it was good enough to win fastest time of the day at the first local autocross event by 1/2 a second. My car is a high power turbo, so the additional tire width outweighs the penalty of any weight gain. Anyway, here are some pictures. I am very happy with them. My car still pushes a little if I come into a corner too hot, so I am going to be looking at taking the shims out in front in order to add additional negative camber as the front tires look pretty straight up and down right now. However, overall the car performed very well and I think it really looks mean now. I currently have the stock non track pack suspension. Name:  Elise pics 002.jpg
