The factory wheels are only 6.5" wide.

oops, thx  on those rims, the 205/55-16 azenis's sidewalls are perfectly veriticle, with a nice flat contact. About a year ago, I was "persuaded" by some of the elders here to go with 225/50-16's... after a long debate. As much as I still respect those individuals, I'm going back to the 205/55-16's. Unfortunetly, the Escta MX's have a harder compound than the Azenis's, so it'll probably take me another year to burn them down.

I would go STX if I were going to autox an SVT again. See this thread for my reasons.

Is there a natural progression (per the rules) from STS to STX? In oher words...I'm in G-Stock now, as I start modding the car could I hop to, say, STS next, stay there for awhile, get the mod bug again and then transition into STX? I know, I need to get a rulebook. But off the top of your heads, would this allow for the typical SVT mods while staying within Solo 2 rules?
Much Thanks,
Randy

The, I repeat the mod that will bump you to STX is a LSD. The PAX isn't that much worse, but look at your competition 
Any other blingy crap like a carbon fiber hood bumps you into street mod. Ouch.

Headers, too. STS allows headers, but it doesn't allow alteration/modification/deletion of any OEM emissions equipment. STX allows you to delete "pre-cats" as long as you maintain at least one cat that will allow you to pass an emissions test.
As for the LSD, I figure if I'm cracking the box open, I'm going on the Fidanza Weight-Loss Plan, which would zoom me right past STX anyway.

Keep in mind that moutons hasn't been updated in two years. Find somebody that has a 2004 SCCA handbook if there is any question.

I see me cozying up to STS for a pretty long while! I just got through playing the ton 'o mods game with a 5.0 Mustang Coupe. Tried to do so much at once, I never saw any track time. The darned thing has been sitting in my garage for about two years. Was pointed toward CP but I realized it's just too difficult for me to have a track-only (trailered) car. Bought the CSVT and hope to learn from my mistakes this time.

P.S. If you know anyone that might be interested, I'm currently parting out the Mustang
