No need to go different width front/rear if...

a) you don't have more than 35 kgm of torque
b) you have done proper chassis and suspension R&D
you know, 205/55/16 was my stock RS's tires and I had bout 5 different tires on, but my rear still slipped out and my RS only has 170hp/170tq. Currently has 215/45/17 and at the track some corner, still my rear slips out... or maybe I'm not good driver.

If FT86 gonna have 200hp (give or take) w less weight than my car (<2800 lbs) and only putting 205/60/15 or 205/55/16, expect to see the owner spinning out more often than S2k (AP1) driving in the snow (and AP1's 16" tires are nightmare).
