i am currently running on the OEM 19" wheel/tires and i just got the Stance GR+s installed. The mod bug is bit me hard and I am looking into newer mods. What I have noticed is that the stock tires are really not sticking as much as I had hoped, and I might be doing a couple autocrosses in the near future.

I might be picking up some 18" Volk TE37's and either running a square or staggered set up. But looking at the price of the wheel/tire package, I could get a new exhaust/HFC/spacer, and more suspension mods.

What do you guys think? wheels/tires or other mods?

I use the car mostly for daily driving with possibly 2-3 autocrosses in the next couple months.

 

Wheels/Tires first. Those bolt-on mods will only give you a few hp. Might as well roll in style while you save for those.

 

Get some good tires first. Lightweight 18s will be an even better mod. If you have traction issues now, those other mods won't help give you more traction.

Sway bars would be next for better traction and the chassis braces for handling. And if you're looking for serious handling, ditch the Stance coilovers for some good struts like Bilsteins and springs.

Just remember this: Eliminating all body roll or sway is not good for handling, the chassis may never be too stiff, but the suspension can.

Something else to make the drive more enjoyable would be a good short shifter... I have the Revo Autotechnica/Buddy Club and it's a great mod to have.
