if there stock 16x8, get the M/T 255/50/16 or whatever they are(check website)..I have them on my stock rims and they work great.

Thats what I run.. I just swap the rear out and hit the track. On those tires I have not had any traction issues at all. All last year my 60' were in the 1.5X range.

get an et street or a hoosier-dont get a dr on ur car. 1 its an m6 and u could use the extra cushion a bias ply will offer and 2 ur still on a 10 bolt so the less shock the better.
