I have the factory Track Model wheels mounted with the loud and crappy Bridgestone tires. In the near future I am going to be looking at installing some Michelline Pilots (excuse the spelling).
I am curious as to what the largest front/rear configuration I can do is...without the unsightly sidewall bulge. I want it to look like it belongs.
Currently stock is 225 in the front and 245 in the back....
I would think a 235/255 configuration should be easy to pull off. Maybe even wider in the back?
Any feedback would be appreciated.

the stock 8" rims on performance and touring use 245s in back; so no reason the front 8" rims on the track cant use 245s. the back is .5" wider; so IMO 255 is the proper size; 265 would be 1 notch larger.

Thank you for the response. I don't have much time to search these forums like the "friendly" person that posted after yourself suggested. I figured a knowledgeable person wouldn't mind giving me a quick answer.

I think your best bet would be to keep the 245's in the back and run some 245's in the front too. This would reduce understeer on the car.

Do not put 245 all around, understeer is good, it will keep you out of trouble more than it will get you into it. I don't know how people are possiblly driving the car to the point that understeer is an issue unless they are at the track. On the street understeer shouldn't be an issue but oversteer will be in the case that you take a turn a little too fast or the corner too tight and you wish you had understeer to keep you from spinning.
