As I mentioned below I really think I could stretch a wider tire in the front given the stiff nature of these kinds of tires.

They sell a 235/45/17 Hancook RS3. Think that would fit on the front?
My suggestion to max your AX class:

1. Run 235/255 in the exact same tire. It matters. 35 psi hot

2. Alignment specs: Max front camber (-.7?) with a touch of toe out.
Rear camber (-1.2) with a touch of toe in.

3. M030 rear sway to rotate the car more easily anytime you lift.

$. Pull any excess weight within the rules.

This will only cost a few hundred $$ and might be worth .5 sec.
