Nice heavy wheel for AutoX, might want to use the B14 SER wheel with the Azenis in a 225/35 or 215/40. You need some side wall and a light wheel.

for autoX, what tires would u use? i'm thinking of a 235/35/18, but would u guys recommend anything against that? if so why?
It depends on the class. For an ST class I would go with the stand by
RT-615's or RE-01R's. For an open class, Hoosier A6's. I wouldn'd run big wheels either. 15's at the most.
Edit: I should add, for your first time, it doesn't matter. You just need the seat time to get started. I did my first several events on all seasons!

right now i have on there 215/35/18, but they're NANKANG NS-II...they suck lol.
this going to be my 1st time doing autoX..trying to get it all setup.
thank u so much for the help!
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh your auto-xing 18inch wheels on a sentra. i think i found your problem.
if you get smaller wheels (15inch to 16inch) you will be looking at damn good tires in the $80-100 range. find a stock set of se-r wheels from a 200sx and get some azinis in 205/50/15.

Seriously, don't even consider 18" wheels for autocross, or any situation for that matter. Those would hinder the feel and performance so much, plus tires in that size are expensive. While some B14 wheels are certainly a better option, I would recommend something better still. If you want to get the most out of any tire, you need a proper wheel width to match. The B14 wheels are only 6" wide and while a 205/50/15 will fit, it doesn't fit well. The characteristics of the tire will be quite different if the tires are squished on a narrow wheel.
I recommend you run either 15 or 16 wheels with at least a 7" width.
15X7 35mm offset wheel
with:
-225/45/15 Hankook RS2 or 205/50/15 Falken RT-615 (budget setup)
or
-195/50/15 Bridgestone RE01R is a good tire, but a bit expensive. For the size they are fairly wide and they provide much better feel and feedback then the Hankook or the Falken.
16x7 35mm offset wheel
-215/45/16 Hankook RS2 or same size Falken RT=615
or
-205/45/16 Hankook RS2 (little cheaper, and will be a little more responsive)
or
-205/45/16 RE01R (same as above, expensive but good)
or you could run:
-205/40/16 RT-615 (they are narrow, but the short stiff sidewalls provide great response)
I dont know if you have a B13 or B14, but wheel sizes listed above will fit well on either. If you can find a good set of 7.5" or even 8" wide wheels, you might try them, but I know the rear fitment on b13's is a bit tight. Anyways, good luck with the car. Hope you get everything sorted out.
