I'm not so sure the extra width of a 235 over a 225 on a 7" rim is really worth it. Maybe at autocross, but for the track I would go with the slightly narrower tire... too bad it's taller... though that would be better for the track as well.

I guess it depends mostly on what you're planning on doing with the car. Everyone knows that wider is better for autocross... but you'll lose some of the feel of the car at higher speeds.
