at least a 245, maybe a 255. ive had a 275 on an 17x8 rim and thats too
big. the better the suspension, the less tire it will need. too bad its so
heavy.

Not at all, I really liked it. It's not stunningly wow on the street, it'll
need a supercharger kit or somesuch for that, but it's an extremely
competent well balanced sports car for a great price. For AutoX, it's got
power going to the right pair of wheels and a superb suspension, the biggest
issue is weight (3200lbs for the base model, more like 3300 for the touring
model) vs tire size (225s). How wide a Kumho can you fit on a 7.5x17 rim?
