i'm not the OP, but i run 17x9.5 all around and the car feels very balanced. it is however very subtle. if you have coilovers, i would highly recommend getting corner balancing done after your car is set up.

They felt VERY neutral and being able to rotate the tires every event is a big plus.

^^ yup. Another reason why I want to go equal sizes on all corners. Do any of you guys drift on this set-up? I'm on 245 rears and 225 fronts and all I do is understeer on the entries. I've resorted to clutch-kicking simply because feint/gas and feint/brake gets me massive understeer (+ our e-brakes are worthless). Frankly, I shouldnt have to with the horsepower we have. I've had every type of tire and combinations on there, too. super grippy, fronts, backs, worn to the wires, stock potenzas, etc. Just wondering if you guys see the understeer go away or if it is persistent.

Look at how abrupt your steering input is. Are you still on the brakes hard when you turn in? Hope the Yaw sensor is OFF when you try that. Otherwise the car will never let you play.

). Whenever I try to initiate using only the steering wheel I understeer. Brake-feinting i can get usually, as long as i'm going fast enough. I'm mainly talking about tight courses, 2nd gear.
