255s all around

Yeah. Im hoping the ride will be a lil more confidence inspiring. My fc has become my daily again and im finally getting 4 new grippier tires to replace my used and bald ones. With the manuel rack its always been twitchy especially in the rain. I want the extra grip from wider tires but I dont want the car to feel twitchy were im scared to drive in the rain. I got into an accident a while back an every time the steering gets shake-y Im alil paranoid.

I would put a 245/40/17 front and a 255/40/17 rear.
I think putting the tires on the wheels with a slight stretch is a good bet for handling. a 245/40/17 on a 9" wheel is slightly stretched which is good for handling/turn in/better tire contact patch control.
As weird as it sounds it should give you less understeer as well because of how the tire is stretched a little.

Same as Johnson here.
255/40/17 on 17x9 +24. You'll need to roll front fenders and dial in some negative camber. Depending on rear offset with the 10s you may not need to roll the rear fenders. With rear NT01s I had to roll the rears but NT01s are huge.
The car handles and drives great with 255s all around.
