Everything is as compromise. Everything you change on your car affects everything else. The entire point of this thread is to make people actually think about what they are doing, and not automatically decide to cram the absolute largest wheels and tires they can afford on this car. Why is that so hard to figure out?
I think it's at least as inaccurate to say that a 300 width would actually give more mechanical grip to begin with.
