Meh. I want the 225, but I'm just thinking if I go a tad bit more on the hardcore side with a 215 i'll be able to sleep way better at night. Plus, tires are the only thing I don't get a baller discount on, so I want to "measure twice and cut once" per say

Personal recommendation would be about 9j +20 or +15 ish for S13 fronts.
Star Specs!!! Those are the only tires I run for my fronts. Just not sure if you're willing to spend that much loot on tires.
I'm running these new Generals for my rear and so far they're pretty good for All-Season tires. They're called G-Max AS03, its they're replacement for the UHPs and traction has been consistent and predictable.
Only issue you'll have is finding the correct size.

Actually, now that I'm looking at Tirerack, I've heard nothing but good things about Hankook RS-3 or the V12s as far as bang for the buck.

Thanks for the advice!
I could run a 235/40 but the clearance will suck. I'm running a 17x9 +12 on the front with a 235/40 right now until I get the car out of paint, which, obviously, is when i'll be putting the other 2 17x9.5 +28 on. The 235/40 on the 9 +12 fits kinda awesome, but i can't lower the front as much as desired, and it rubs sometimes...I FUCKING HATE RUBBING. I'm thinking the 9.5 +28 will stretch the 235 more and I think a 9.5+28 would fit like 7mm more inward...
