i have 245/40/19 kumho ecsta spt's on the rears and the fronts need to be replaced... i think im gonna go with the 245/35/19 kumhos.... all thanks to this thread..... i was gonna get the 225's but it seems like the 245's will give me less understeer, correct???

and are there any negative effects of getting the wider fronts?

As long as you pay attention to what you have on the rear - no.

the rear is way too short. It will cause your speedometer/odometer to be off, and likely cause VDC issues
