Interesting idea of the RE71r in front and A052 in rear. As Devin said, the rear diff works very well, and putting power down is not such an issue to me. Fitting tires and getting the front end to turn is totally the goal. In BS, you are limited to 9" wide wheels in front and 10" wide in back. Depending on how you feel about squeezing wide tires on narrow rims, maybe it can work. For me, it seems unlikely I would go wider than my current 275/35-18 on the fronts. A 285mm or 295mm front tire would be interesting to see. Just keep in mind the front tire clearance issues are the tire rubbing on the strut housing, and tire rub on the fender opening (as when tires turned, compressed). This is where a lower overall height tire in front is good. A taller tire may contact the fender on compression. I changed my rear tire sizes more for gearing than grip, but as always its a balancing act. Would love to hear more of others combo of tire/wheel sizes and impressions.
