^^ Your tire sizes on 20" wheels are within OEM stock specs, so you should expect good resuts... even with a VDC equipped car.

So, what if I put the 245/45/18 from the rear onto the front
and get a pair of 285/40/18 for the rear?

The ratios appear ok & I need all the grip I can get in the back

TIA

Trust me, a tire is the LAST thing on a car you want to go cheap on!

I have brand new BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW-2 in the oem sizes, I was hoping to only buy some oversized rears
