Ok so I've read until I'm blue in the face, still undecided and seeking guidance from those more knowledgeable than myself.

I've a 2020 PP1 car with stock suspension and would like to go square. The reason for this is that my car seems to want to push and present slight understeer when driving it in a spirited fashion. I can force my way through it with proper throttle usage but I'd rather improve cornering just a bit without suspension mods.

I'd like to stick with 19's. What size and offset do I need? It would be nice if I could rotate front to back but not mandatory. I'm just looking for a square setup with lots a rubber on the pavement. Thanks in advance for your help!

I just put on some 3mm spacers and picked up 2 spare rear wheels to run 9.5in on all 4 corners. Was an easy, cheap option.

When i need new rubber then I'll move up to probably 285 on all 4 coners.

Square, no rubbing and a perfect fit.

What you feel isn't tires it's crappola suspension and the hinge in the irs. Alignment dowels and lock out the irs and put a vastly better rear damper (FP track or bilstein) and you've solved 80pct of the problem.

Wheels are nice, but the real answers to understeer on a stockish suspension are more front camber and/or more rear swaybar. The main point of wide front tires is so they overheat slower. That doesn’t really apply on the street. And just adding traction all around (e.g better tires) generally increases understeer.
