I went with 235s. I like it, but I would want to go even wider. Now that I have square wheels, I wish I had 265 square.
Go as wide as your wheels will allow, IMO.

IMO I would not run a 265 or even a 255 on the front due to the tendency of the front of the car to annoyingly begin to track steer. Plus the turn-in feel begins to suffer and with that much tire with the factory alignment specs, understeer will just be brutal

Derek has 255 square and loves it. Says turn in is fantastic.

He also dailys a prius and uses the ZHP as his toy. I ran 255 up front and hated it on the daily grind. Car tramlined like a bee with an itch.. For track/auto-x yeah I would run 255 or 245 square, for DD use 225 up front is MORE than enough.Derek has 255 square and loves it. Says turn in is fantastic.

Square 245 or 235/255 would be ideal IMO
