    Default Volvo C30 (custom)

    This was the first one that I've seen hooked up. I didn't realize that it is AWD. Sorry if it is a repost

    That rear shot is sick, the front end looks a mess though.

    Maybe it helps with understeer I know when I went with a narrower/smaller diameter tire on my Merk, it seemed to quicken the steering and turn-in.

    true true, didn't think of it that way. having a big beefy tire on the front kinda hinders the turning a little

    Looking at that sequential turbo setup I would veture to guess that It moves pretty good. The suspension looks pretty well sorted as well.

    I don't see how a wider tire on the front of your car would increase understeer. .. It would be the exact opposite.. Maybe a SHORTER tire helped your turn in because you decreased the sidewall flex
