    I'm not an expert but you can run 16's on the front if you want. Personally I'd put 17's on the front if you have them and keep the 15's and 16's for the back as it'll spin them easier and handier for getting part worns for.

    a 17 with a decent tyre will reduce the chance of understeer and give better feedback with the lower profile tyre with the weight of a 5 you will want to do every thing you can to get front end grip
