I like the idea of moving the rear rubber to the front (245/40/20) and either 265/35 or 275/35 for the rear. I am not a fan of understeer, hence prefer a more balanced front/rear size. Also not a fan of unsprung weight, hence the 17 lbs. rims and relatively light tires.

I look forward to seeing pictures of that setup. Unfortunately for me, the tires that I prefer for autocross, the RE71R's, don't come in those sizes, so that's why I will need to go with 19" wheels.
