Message using the stock wheels is fine. Actually it's ideal. You could use these wheels, however instead of the stock tire size (as long as you're only going to use these for Auto-X.), go with a smaller profile, and a wider tire. If you're sceptacle about the smaller profile, at least go wider.

For example, a fellow club member up here has an N/A. The stock tire size for the N/A is 225/50/16, and his R compounds for his Auto-X set are 245/45/16's. They look kinda funny on the wheels, but damn does it make his car stick like glue. Also, make sure that you go to a reputable place to mount the tires to the wheels b/c with a wider tire like that, they'll have some great fun trying to squeeze it on the wheel, but trust me, it's worth all the frustration.

Good luck.
