Message	I seem to have more understeer than before, when I push it hard through long sweeping turns. And when I get on it from a stand still and turn at the same time, I have more oversteer, the rear end really wants to swing around. I'm guessing this is a result of the 18x9 rears grabbin' and pushin' the 17x8 fronts around a bit. My tires must be broken in by now. It's not bothersome. I can adjust my driving style. But I think I can see what folks mean when they say the smaller wheels and equal sized wheels handle better for the track.
