"You turn into the corner smoothly, but a little more turning and it goes into an oversteer. "

Does it have a rear sway bar? Try disconnecting it?

In eary 1990s, Syclones/Typhoons had staggered front to rear wheels, Being it was Kinda thrown together with other GM parts. They used the Center console and trans from a Vette, instrument cluster from a Sunbird. And the wheels were staggered like the Vette, so they put the rear Sy/Ty wheels on the front of a few 2WD trucks with a spacer. Not AWD. The A-arms on 2WD are much shorter, so the spacer will push the wheel out, but the pivot point will still be back. Didn't come with rear sway but decided to to try one years ago for handling. Still had delayed oversteer but was miserable on slightly rough roads/speedbumps. Took it back off. Stock has Bilstein shocks, so that is firm enough for me.

WheelSmith wheels. They will build to your request. And they have new style mounts for stock looking caps. Caps were from Speedway...I think. Been 2+ years.

I have been talking with Terry at Wheel Smith, a very knowledgable guy about my situation. All in All I have decided to go with the stock C4 front brakes!

This eliminates a lot worry about steering problems, opens up my wheel selection and I can run all 4 the same!

Sounds like the solution would be to fabricate new a-arms to lengthen the arms to the desired location and eliminate the spacer. This is so common today with all of the aftermarket suspension options and retrofit upgrades. Back in the day, the IROC Camaro wheels were a popular swap onto the S10 and the had to use 4 fronts (or was it rears?) to achieve the correct offset and fit
