I kinda roughed it last year with tires - using some Yokohama Advan 032's

I had these tires, that were on the car when I bought it - almost certain they were the original tires since the car only had 19k miles and they weren't even being used primarily. Serving no purpose other than a spare if one of the Advan's blew out.

So I traded them for four Speedline wheels (now my second set) and 4 absolutely atrocious tires. IDK what the hell the guy was thinking with these.

The plan is to have a DR setup with Michelin Pilot Sport PS2's up front. 275 all four corners of course.

The DR's I went with were BFGoodrich G-Force - they should be arriving today. Tons of information on which drag radials are best, but I think I'll be most pleased with these.
Having the second set of wheels opens up a lot of options for me. I could take the set and make em' wides/skinnies for a drag specific setup, or I could just widen two of them (think 315's) and then find two more PS2's for a track tire setup. I think either way, it's going to involve getting two of them widened. Any suggestions for local wheel shops that will widen these wheels? I'm local to Plymouth, MI.
Once I get the car out, and the setup on, I'll be sure to share my opinion on the setup. I've got very high hopes.
