And you don’t have to worry about tire diameters on a square setup. Although, your speedometer may be off. My track tires are 245/35/18 all around (6.85% smaller in diameter) and I have experienced no issues.

So your say put a 255 up front and a 257 rear with help with the under steer issue? Keep in mind I only have one set of wheels. So this setup has to work as a weekend driven car.
I am going to keep looking with the sizes you talked about an see what comes up. I would like to have another set of wheels, but right now is not the time for it, so this is why I was looking at the:
F. 255/35-19 = 2.7% Over OEM
R. 305/30-19 = 2.3% Over OEM
Sizes, kind of dual purpose tire. I am understanding your point on the under steer some know. Boy have I got allot to learn.

Thank for the input ResIpsa.
