You're a Prepared-class driver now. Open that wallet wide!
Who knows, but it'd be fun to try . There's no safety inspection in GA. Honestly, I'd be out like $70 for a year, so I'm not really *that* worried about itDo you really think you can get it registered/street-legal with all the "weight savings" you are going to be doing? I'm all for the cat, just doubt it makes sense to waste the money on registration, insurance, etc.
I doubt that there'll be that much tire deflection out of it. And from my understanding the top guys who are running these have no lack of grip, so at this point (especially being underpowered like woah) I don't see a need to move away from something that's a more or less "known quantity" if that makes any sense. If it becomes an issue, it's not out of the question to try something new.Biggest thing that strikes me is this: Is the 75 pound penalty for wheel width worth having to run a cantilever slick? Get a 10" wide wheel and then slap a tire on there that doesn't deflect 2".
Probably thatOr am I just too out there with my wacky "No-one-else-does-that-so-I-have-to-try-it" mentality.
I figured you wouldi say going with whatever tire is easier to mount and balance would be your best bet

Cookie-cutter builds are great to get you up to speed. We did the same thing with the STS build: built it to "spec" then tweaked it from there. And it worked great, and we did nothing but get faster.
Oof. That's all Kevin's got? Ok, Hardy's Civic wheels then. You get the point.
Don't do it because it's what everyone else does. It wouldn't be that hard to test and find out what works.
