K1's but I have them on my car. When I was running it on street tires with the crappy tune I had estimated at 300 hp there is more than enough tire back there to do the job. It would take a ton of tire to get traction in 1st but that is any boosted car, and I am sure you do not want to run slicks and do hole shots.

Anyway, let me break it down for you Barney-style. 225 on a 7 is not cramming, at all. 15x8 is not superior to a 15x7 (unless you are some turd track racer ) for a street car. It's all about side wall height and tire compound.
I had to be convinced of this, luckily I had a friend do it for me. He decided to show me what a two-step, death launch was like in his E30 (over 450wtq). The car hooked first on 14x6.5 wheel with a 235 tire and nearly broke my neck.
After I used a garden hose to clean out of my underwear I completely dropped my argument about why I needed 15x9 wheels for my car and he just laughed at me.

I feel insulted, we used to be Myspace friends!

Sounds like you had a damn good time in your friend's E30. I need some friends that can walk on my Miata
I'll be doing a mix of both. But it is my DD after all.

I couldn't be happier with them I'll be continuing the white scheme in a few other places as well.
