Same as the ones you were talking about - 17x10 +25 all around, so about +22 in the front with the shim spacer because of the huge (and square shouldered) Hoosiers. I got some slight glazing on each tire when they were in the front because the shoulders are so square.

Currently I have been autocrossing with 19x9.5 in the front +28 so I think 17x10 +25 would work no prob?

i think since its your first season and you are just starting to Autox... you should run street tires(cheaper) , until you know how to drive your car...
