Default Larger Fronts?

Would it make sense to run a wider front tire on a stock C4? (for track days)? What sizes would you recommend (not lowered)?

I'm not sure what the stock sizes are, but bare minimum I would run 275's on the front.

FWIW, you should run the widest tires you can as more tire means more grip.

You can run 315's on all 4 corners using 17x11 wheels with a 50mm offset. There's minor rubbing on the front at full steering lock, but nothing to be concerned about. I'll be doing this for my Auto-X configuration as soon as I convince myself to blow $500 on the new wheels
