Default Can OEM front rim handle a 225 width Yok A032R?

Right now I use the A032Rs on my stock rims (for the racetrack only,) 205 front and 245 rear. I'm still at the stock ride height. The car's looser than I'd like on the track, so I'm about to buy a bigger front swaybar. In case the bar causes me to go from too much oversteer to an understeer condition, I might want to add some front grip with wider rubber, so can the OEM wheels take an A032R tire in the 225 size?

And for that matter, does anyone know if the A032R is available in a 255 or 265 size that will fit on the REAR stock wheels?

Yes, you can use either the 205/55/16 or 225/50/16. Both will fit on the stock 6.5-inch wheel. The largest sized Yoko race tire you'll be able to fit on the stock rears are 245/45/16. You COULD fit the 255/50/16 but the tire would be 25.9-inches tall. Not cool.

You would want the 225/50R16 and 245/45R16 rear. This keeps the diameter correct for the car and the front to rear stagger about the same as well.
If I can help I have the tires in stock at 165.00 front and 168.00 rear.
Thank you
