That's great! Are you just on the tires that came with it or did you buy the Azenis?

For autocrossing there is nothing wrong with stretching tires a bit on rims. For example, I have done 225/45/15 Hoosier A6 on a 6" rim and am currently running 245/40/17 on a 7" rim. Both were fine although you do have to find a shop that has good experience doing tough mounting. I also know a guy that is putting 285/30/18 Hoosiers on a 987 front rim - that's a 285 on an 8" rim.
