Larger circumference wheels will allow you to keep the overall wheel/tire combo circumference the same as stock.
An added benefit is the ability to run a lower profile, thicker sidewall. This means less sidewall flex and truer wheel to tire tracking....thus more responsive handling.
But this is only a piece of the puzzle....control arm bushings, sway bars, springs, shock absorbers/struts, alignment as well as chassis twist play significant roles on how a car handles.
Too large and you run into clearance problems, control arm bushing stress due to heavier wheels...
An added drawback is rotational resistance due to the larger wheel and added mass. So you will loose some torque off the line.
Look up your wheel width and see the recommended tire sectional width spec....try and get the tire that represents the average between the widest and narrowest.

i'm assuming this better velocity would be achieved in basic terms at genuine arranged and sanctioned raceways? stunning? The racers there provide you with suggestion on a thank you to set your vehicle as much as extra ideal guard situations at that distinctive venue. If besides the fact which you're wanting tips related to dealing with on public roadways, I assure you that a Nissan 370Z can and could take any and all corners extremely properly with the generating unit put in suspension and tires on the printed velocity shrink under everyday using situations (no rain, snow, ice, sparkling visibility, etc.)

yes it does.. wide tyre giv more contact between the car and the road.. more contact means more grips.. and big rims sure need a low-profile tyre.. wich is thinner and less air needed.. thats give the 'stiff' kinda feel..
