Default Racing wheels for my TA... Questions

I posted a while back looking for ideas on wheels for a Pewter TA like mine and got some good ideas but think I want to go smaller actually and racing style. I want to get my car in the 12's all stock A4 and think this may do it if I can get some unsprung weight off and DR's on the rear. So looking for size BS, tire size and types that would look good on there (pics if you have them). I think I want to go 15's and give it a little rake towards the front. I don't rule out pizza cutters for the front but think I would rather have something a little wider on the front so I can still corner half decent. I will have to look back but don't recall seeing anyone go 12's all stock (lid) with an A4.

Wheels that fit without grinding or wheel spacers

The new Greg Weld Design wheels fit the front without girinding (15x4) and they are supposed to be releasing the rears that work too (15x8).

Almost any other 15" wheel requires grinding the front calipers to fit, the rears usually work out just fine.

That's good timing for me if that is the case. I wouldn't mind getting them earlier but can wait. It will be cool then as well = 12's for sure.

Are you going to get a converter or just leave it completely stock?

Completely stock except the lid and wheel change.
