Your stock setup is this correct?
Front: 18x8 +43 225/50/18
Rear: 18x9 +15 245/45/18

Try this setup:
Front: Same wheels. 245/45/18
Rear: Same wheels. 275/40/18

If you're still looking for what tires to get, check out this review:

I haven't checked if those tires come in the sizes I listed above, but it's a start.

Hope that helped.

Perfect. 18" stock fronts are a ridiculous fitment. A 50 aspect ratio tire is absolutely no good on a sports car. I'm on those rite now from oem 19s and the body roll and understeer compared to the 19s setup is way more pronounced.
