Widest tires on stock wheels.
I just started autocrossing my 4 door sedan with good results, but Im using a super thing 215 mm tire. I want to go as wide as possible. I was thinking 235 might be logical but I am not quite sure as I have only owned the car for about two weeks. The wheel i have is the 6 spoke on the 2003 model, I NEVER use VDC unless its on ice, so I am not worried about the computer. Also, Any suggestions for light wheels that are still 17inch? Thanks!

My 03 Sedan has 5 spoke stock 17" with 235-45-17's all around car sits much better & eliminated some body roll as well..I also have it sitting on Tein S tech springs, it handles the corners great. I as well turn the VDC button off as soon as i start the car..
I have also had 245/40/17 on the rear with 225/45/17's on the front...
These are the specs for the wheels i have...
17" 5 spoke (03-04 Sport)
Front & Rear: 17"x7" (+45mm)

isn't the 6 spoke rim a 6.5" width? I got the sport pkg on mine so it came with the 5 spoke 17x7. You also have a lot of options for 17" light wheels. Volk, Gramlights, SSR, WEDS Sport, Rota, 5Zigen, Advan, etc. Not sure on your budget though.
I just got some bridgestone serenity 235/50/17 installed on my 06x with OEM 7 spokes and it is awesome... I see no fitment issues whatsoever... The 235/50 is supposed to keep the speedo/odom the same also
