Found plenty of tyres that are ok for the back now, but I don't know if I can put those same ones on the front as a lot of them don't seem to have different offset options so I'd be stuck with the same offset for the front too
You mention some things where performance matters, so... remember that this car seems to prefer a square setup - same tire and wheel widths all around (and, I presume, offset - though I've never seen that specifically noted.)

Since you typically want an extra half degree of negative camber up front, you may find that differences in poke/suck are almost normalized at the top of the tire - enough that the same all around doesn't look particularly out of place.
