If you don't want to lose power from extra weight you could always go with steeda ultra lights, no the best lookin rims though

18s for Saleens, FR500s, GT4s... 17s for everything else.

you'd be fine with a 305 or even a 285 on the back. remember if you do get DD in the back then you can't rotate the tires.
