What size tyres does the 528 come with? Be careful going too wide on the rear if you feel the car is slightly under-powered. It will make it even worse.

I tend to stick close to the factory tyre width as close as possible so that:
1) won't affect steering too much (wider front makes steering a bit sluggish)
2) won't eat away too much torque when starting from stop.......

hmm.... you are right. The 528 comes with 225/55 17. 245F and 275R are the factory setting for upgrade. I would stick with the factory setting and see what rim size they have.
