my only concern personally is upsizing. It give the tire a smaller diameter and makes the car look a bit funny to me. Its a .3" drop in front from 26.1 to 28.8" and the rear is worse at 26.0 to 25.6". My issue is the front and making the wheel gap bigger in front. I think the understeer is gone with the new rear F sport bar so I think I am going to stay with stock sizes.

What Tires?
Having been the manager of a tire center at a major warehouse retailer, the Bridgestone RE-11 is the way to go if your'e looking for a great performance tire at a fair price - hands down. Michelin also makes great tires.

It does make a very small difference in wheel gap, but the difference is only half of what you think it is. A 0.3" difference in tire height is only going to make a 0.15" difference in gap between the fenders...and the car will sit 0.15" lower. IMO the difference is negligible
