I don't use 19's because I don't like 19's.... 18s are smoother and do the job well and absorb more from bad roads.
Width wise, I stick with what the car was designed with.

Just curious, what US regulations address understeer?

1) I was just about to buy a new set of tires for my '06 C4 wide body. I just got a set of 19" oem Lobster Forks (ET 57 and 51) and was planning on going with the stock 235 and 305's. Do you guys think that I should go with 245 and 325's instead?

2) Will I need to get spacers?

3) If so, how many millimeters front and rear?
