The 5 handles well on 13's but VERY limited tyre choices

15's are the next best and have the advantages of a huge choice of tyres

16's look cool but need to run 205/40/16, 195/45/16 or even better still 195/40/16 but not a lot of people make those sizes and you won't be getting any track day compounds in those sizes.

I've found that the 13's handle ok, but can't get any power down out of corners.
The back end feels too light going through and the front understeers out. Could just be my sloppy driving :agree::laugh:

15's feel the best for me but the 13's look cooler.
