Will 17x11 cause excessive understeer or will the added traction be worth it? Should the fronts and rears be the same width? I think I'm gonna get these boyds.

Hey that looks like a left hander with those pipes. Anyway, ideally the tire should be matched to the weight. Therefor it should have wider tires on the front, but nobody would dare do that. The only problem i see is the reduced turning radius which would counter the handeling benifits of the wider tires.
