You can put the same size diameter wheels on, like 18's or 19's on all four corners but you will need to have your rear tires be taller in the rear, than the front.
This is what I have read:
I think the rears need to be at least a 1/2" taller than the fronts to prevent any trac/active handling codes
I took this quote from another thread here on the forum.
, I've always heard the 1/2" taller in the rear guideline too.

It will render traction control useless, and I think it might barely rub the front tires at full tilt on a loaded suspension, but not enough to cause any real issues.

I've run 18 X 10.5s with 60mm offset all the way around. I used Pirelli Trofeos in 295/30/18 on all four wheels. The car handled great and rotation was greatly improved as well as turn in. Traction control is out the window, you don't even leave your pit spot without turning it off
