T1R has a little bit softer sidewall, I run them at 34 PSI all around which seems to have stiffened them up a good amount.

T1-R has these the following sizes:
Front:
205/50/16 (Cheapest Price)
205/55/16 (OEM match)
215/55/16
225/40/16
225/50/16

Rear:
245/45/16

Would going for a front 55 sidewall to something wider and/or lower profile have any major side effects?

Less oversteer. I think 205 is the widest you want to go on the front AP1 OEM rim.

205 front, 245 rear to maintain the same contact patch as the OEM S0-2

I started reading deeper into threads and it seems that unless you have a good sway bar then to stick to 205.

Thanks for your input guys
