Hi,

Wider Fronts are OK to a degree, will help to neutralize the Understeer, but watch out for BumpSteer..

For the Rears, Don't do it. Wider Tires in the Rear will tend to increase Tramlining and the Rear will be lighter (fewer lbs./in.²) and can Breakaway more suddenly, increasing HydroPlaning in the Wet. Besides, the Tire you describe won't work on the Wheel you have. Hope this helps...

Happy Motoring!...Jim'99
