Jorge---The 15X7 tire choices are sort of limited now for the best in
autoX. This is because the more modern cars have gone to 16" and larger
wheels, and the tire manufacturers have gone with the market.
If you had gone with the plus one, you'd have many to pick from,
assuming they wouldn't rub on some part of your ride, especially when in
banzai manoevers. Still, there are a few that are still around and I
have used some years ago. Check out the Yokohama series A008, or A008P,
or the BFGoodrich comp T/A in the 225 widths. Insist on checking
clearances around the trailing arms, and again at the tie rods up front
before paying them. (It'll be close!)

P.S. I don't think TH can keep up with your "puffer"
