4.5 wheels w/ some power ones (160)

Realistically though
Street - 4.5 w/ BT045's (160) or whatever you like
Track - Since your just tracking, just get some rosso II's. Their good enough to set some track records on. If you want the best, get slicks and warmers.

Since we all agree that the 4.5 wheels aren't really gaining you any real performance, might as well take advantage of the extra width to get a phat tire on the rear I guess.

I think what alex.s is getting at is, the extra wheel width isn't really buying you much better tire options for track use. Current tires that are available for the stock sized wheels are nearly as capable as the 250.
Thanks alex and chris, that was what i was trying to decifer. Ill use the 4.5s with a 150 (i dont want to mod anything or chance rubbing) on the street, and get the rosso's on the stock wheels for the track.
