Front I would say use a Nitto NT555R and back get the Nitto NT05r. I would only suggest the NT05r if the car is NOT a daily driver b/c the tires wear fast, they are an inbetween with the nt555r and the mt et streets. They actually did better at the track compared to the new MT ET streets.

I've had good luck with Pilot Super Sports. Not sure what sizes they have, but you should check them out. They're pricey though..
