I have been autocrossing for 4 years but this is my first year in the M2, and over the winter season I quickly realized that the MPSS are good, but no match for the likes of Conti's Extremecontact DWS or on warmer days the RE-71R.
Thanks in advance!

There is a good discuss of options here:

From what I’ve read, you can go with a wide variety of wheels (eg Apex), most suggest 18” is the way to go but tire sizes are limited in either 18 or 19 for 71Rs or BFG so you kind of need to know your preferred tires too.
I ran 71Rs at ~18 local Autox events last year on stock size 19” rims (I wouldn’t buy stock again ... at the time I couldn’t get confirmation 18” would fit, now I would go 18”). If you want to keep in BStreet class at SCCA, you need 9” and 10” wide, but local clubs other than SCCA may not care too much. 265 or 275 front and 275 rear seem to be a preferred option.
(You probably know this, but as soon as we add camber plates we lose BS class)
