Id go with the 275/40/17. Not much larger and doubt would have any issues. Do a search and you'll find the info your looking for.

Currently have Kumho Mx on the car back and front. When they wear out looking at the Hankook Ventus V12.

Does this imply a 275/295 stagger? I wanted to run NT01s, but that'd stick me with a bigger than stock 275/315 stagger. Guess I'll keep rocking the el cheapo Potenzas that came with the car and get a square setup for the track so my tire selection isn't dominated by my stock rim size. No way in hell am I paying $400 for a damn street tire.

I was thinking of running 18" Z06 wheels on the front but concerned they would stick out. Do your 18"s stick out. Any chance you could post a photo?
