Hi everyone, I have a question regarding a possible tire setup for autoX on my 08 Mazda 3 Hatch. Its my understanding that larger tires up front are best for FWD cars because they induce oversteer and neutralize handling. The question part is this: Is this true? If so what is the widest size tire I can fit up front on 7" rims without rubbing? I can get wheel spacers of course to make it fit if that's what i'd need. If it is not true, what are the widest tires you can fit on a Mazda 3 without having to roll the fenders?

Thanks guys

This is my first post btw, I just wanted to thank you all for all the how-to's and stuff, its helped a lot with customizing my car.
