Seems like I'm late to the party.I would have recommended the Hankook RS3's,225/45-15.Star specs are also a great choice. I love my 'Kooks;stupid amounts of grip,great heat tolerance,and reasonable in the rain.I have friends that feel the same way about the Dunlops,so...

Thanks for any thoughts on this. I'd love to run these with 6UL wheels but fear that they will rub without spacers.

I know for sure they will fit without spacers, if you have the rear fenders rolled, and you have close to a perfect offset on those 6ULs (+32mm offset is what you want).

Why has no one mentioned the Toyo R1R? These tires are amazing for street/autocross/road course use. I used to have a set of 225/45/15, so much grip. Also if you want a road course only tire the Toyo R888s are beast mode.

hey ben ive now considered the rs3s in 225 45....

im running 205/50/15 star specs on 15x7 +30 front and 15x7 +15 rear wheels....

by seeing the azenis fit in the 205 size makes me think the rs3s shall fit just as good..with the agx hypercoil combo....

comparison between 205 azenis ans 225 rs3s

I'm really surprised those 205/50/15 Star Specs don't already rub something fierce in the rear with a +15mm offset.
