Optimal tire size on FB

I own a FB with a stock engine and stock 13" wheels. I am going to be purchasing a new set of tires soon and I wanna know what the best size to put on the car has some suspension work done and I really want to set it up as a cornering machine. I have heard that if you go too wide on the tire the sidewalls flex a bunch and give a really unstable feel. I have also heard that like 205 or 215 is as far as you can go with stock wheels but they don't give you the most performance in the corners and maybe a 195 would work better. Traction isn't really an issue with a stock motor. My car has 185/70R/13 right now and I have been interested in a set of Falkens 502 or 512(not sure which one, but one of these are not in production anymore) that are 185/60R/13. What size tire will preform best?
