Hey, Michael, thanks for the info. I didn't realize all these factors that go into tire sizes and their affect on handling. In your opinion, how much understeer would I be getting with the wheel/tire setup that I want: 225-45-17 on a 17x8 front and 245-40-18 on a 18x8 rear? The reason I chose this combo was to keep front to rear sidewall heights similar (my car's a slave to fashion)[8]. I have compared tire diameters, and the rears would be about an inch taller than the fronts. How much would I have to change my driving style, and what kind of change in wet/dry weather handling can I expect with that setup? I don't consider myself "2 Fast, 2 Furious" and I'm not an overly agressive driver, but now I'm concerned; would I be driving a dangerous vehicle?[B)]
