There are no corresponding solo classes in SP for ITX or ITE, so if it isn't a legal ITB/ITC car, you can't run SP (not legally anyway).
If it is a legal ITB or ITC car then you can go to the matching SP class, which I think changed recently, so you'll have to look up the matching SP class, but ITC is limited to 6" wheels and ITB to 7", right?
But you already know that it's not just wheels, you have to make everything IT legal to run SP.

On the third hand, nationally you aren't going to be remotely competitive in SP, but you don't have to win for people to be unhappy if you aren't legal. If you finish 20th out of 24, there will be 4 people not too happy, depending on what isn't legal on your car.

ack! These rules make my head spin sometimes. Looking at the most recent GCR (September 2014), yes indeed the Si is in ITB. I guess I was looking at an older copy or something as I swear it said the second gen was in B and first in C. Either that or I just suck at reading rule books I see they split the Si and the non Si into separate classes. Ah well, glad that's straightened out. That's actually good news as I knew the wheels I have are lot legal in ITC as they are wider than 6".

I was concerned about the wheels as I've been running a set of 13" Keizers with 225/45/13 Hankook z214s (which do not change my class for NASA). They stick out past the wheel opening but the actual part that contacts the ground does not. I want to say they are 7" wide honestly I'll need to measure them again. Old memory ain't what she used to be.

The only other concerns I had were the camber plates (legal on McStrut cars, which I think the CRX qualifies as even though it uses torsion bars rather then coilovers?) and of course my door panels, which I just haven't gotten around to putting back on yet. Plus the fact it has very little in the way of interior (OK in IT), which actually caused some consternation on the part of the local region, as they initially put me in CSP then wanted to move the car to prepared because of the no interior, then had a heated discussion among themselves before throwing up their hands

I've been PAXing favorably against some nationally competitive cars in other classes, but don't really have any competition in FSP around here. Curious to see how I would do. Probably not well but it sure would be fun trying. I had a blast at Blytheville last weekend.
