Stock class allows a change in rims as long as the size and width is the same. The offset can only change by .25 inch's. As far as the spec V. I would find some light 17's and use either your stock wheels for track wheels or the other way around.

No Trip. As soon as you lowered your car you went into DSP.

Nope, you can change the shocks, but you can't change the springs in stock. You can run any size Victoracer that will fit on stock dimension rims.

So if I get a "sleeve kit" coilover set (K2RD) then what tires should I run to stay in that class? I'm in B-Stock right now... so I'm not sure what I'd be moved up to. I'm still a HUGE auto-x newbie.

Coilovers will move you to street prepared. Then you can use any rim and any DOT approved tire. Allwed headers, ignition and external mods to engine, any spring sway bar, camber plates, etc.
