One of the means to increase the grip at one end of the car or the other is to increase the track. Wider front track has helped me decrease understeer. I would think that going to more narrow track in rear would effectively decrease rear grip (or also decrease understeer).

If I go back to the stock 19" rear wheels (et40), instead of the Apex SM-10 with a et33, the rear track would be narrower.

The other factor is a taller rear tire will increase forward rake of the car, which may to a degree also decrease understeer.
