Not strictly true.
You have to run the same size diameter/width/offset wheels that were
*available* on your model of cars *from the factory*. If
15" wheels were an option, then you can legally run 15's. The diameter and
width have to be identical to the factory wheel but
the offset can differ by up to 1/4" (~6mm).

Rich-
To remain in stock class you have to run the same diameter and width
wheels that the car came with. My suggestion would be to pick up a set
of Falken Azenis (Discount Tire Direct usually has good prices) and use
them as a dual purpose tire. I got about 200 runs and 6 months of street
use out of the last set. Then look at maybe upgrading to R-compound
tires on dedicated rims next season. You will learn more sticking with
street tires at first.

Hey all, just got done with a run out a SFR solo II today and noticed my
stock tires are about used up. I am running G stock with a 99 neon r/t
and have decided to buy a set for racing only. Now in order to stay in
my stock class can I run 15's when my car has 14's on it. And then
anybody have a good tire I can use? I am having a blast as this is only
my second autocross completed. But as you are all aware the rules are a
bit confusing.
Thanks a lot for your help.
