Default Before the power...

As of right now, I have my stock 235s on my 2012. With my cai, tune, and exhaust I struggle to keep her straight even with little acceleration. I kinda like my stock wheels, but I'm not sure if it would be better to upgrade to a wider wheel and match the tires or get the widest tire possible on my stock wheels. Your thoughts?

Wider wheels and tires.

Anything man as far as wheels. That's personal preference as long as they are wider. But for street use I like my NT05R's. On the track they suck though.

I'd like to find someone who wants factory takeoffs and we could swap with a lil cash involved.

Just get 255s in a summer performance tire and you'll be fine unless you need a drag radial for the track or planning spray or boost real soon

I had the same problem with the 245s. I got some wider wheels / tires and my traction is perfect. I can't wait to try it at the track.
