I have run the R2's with 750+rwhp and they held up awesome. Currently I am running 700rwhp and 750rwtq, but I havent tested them yet.
I would go with the R2's over the R's mainly for the cornering ability.

I hope to get a season out of them. They will split time with my M/T Et Streets.

Where is the best place to buy the RII's ?
How much are they going for?
Slightly off topic...
What sizes can I use for stock 2004 wheels.
I was thinking of going stock in front and as wide as the wheel will allow in the rear.
Any help greatly appreciated!

Best price I found was Direct Tire Online, and then went into my local DIrect Tire, and bought them there.
I put 275/40-17's all around. Didn't feel like putting 18's on the rear. They are $100 more each. Adds up to a lot when you go through them a couple times a year.
