It appears that PLS only offers a 4X140 wheel in 15". Politecnic sells a
15X7.5 version of that wheel along with a 205/50-15 tire as their max
size.
I take that as an indication of their thoughts on max tire envelope size
irrespective of rim diameter.
Jon was right about a more modern tire, ala' 16", having better handling.
However, as you jazz the HP on a 505, you soon need more grip and only
patch will get you there. Burnouts and donuts don't need more traction,
but power to the ground, in any/all directions does.
I'll lean back towards Revolution RFX wheels which I can get custom made.
I have a 16" which was too big for the front with any good tire. If the
mixed size approach is OK, I'll go that route.
More info soon!
