Finally got some tires. I went with the Vredestein Quatrac Pro in 225/50R17. These are 26" diameter instead of the stock 25" diameter. I didn't have any issues fitting them to the car and did several full lock turns with no rubbing. I only have about 25 miles on the tires, so no firm opinions yet. The ride does seem more comfortable and the steering is not nearly as sharp, which I expected. Going to give these 1000 miles and see what happens. I do like the tire size and even if I do go back to performance tires, I will probably stick with the 17" wheels and 225/50 tire size. I'm keeping the original staggered setup, may put them back on occasionally. I also checked the speedometer with two different GPS apps and the speedometer was dead on with the GPS.
