When performing overhead squats, make sure your feet are just outside the hips. This will allow your hips to squat right in between the heels, requiring less ankle and hip flexibility than a narrow stance and allowing you to keep your hips right under the bar throughout the movement. This way, your centre of gravity will be way more stable.
