I use the same tires mounted on stock wheels and I can not stress how awesome a difference it was. They fit beautifully across my back seat and are killer on the track. I've actually carried 8 wheels/tires in my car at one time. Trust me, they can fit.

If you want to go 235 up front you will need to get A6's, as the V710's only come on 245 or 285. I bought 245's all around and I spend a little cash and remount the tires halfway and at the end of the season. They still have plenty of tread left after 60-ish auto-x runs.

You might need a slim spacer (I use a 5mm spacer to keep the tires off strut,) but you might not.
