Has anyone felt a huge difference in gearing and acceleration when upgrading to 255's? Road and track tested a fr-s with wider 235/40/18 dunlop direzza tires (about 2 mph difference in speed from OEM) and saw that the tire setup negatively affected lap times over the 215/45/17 direzza tires.

It kinda makes me think that 255's or wider, and 18 inch wheels are unnecessary for a stock car. any input is much appreciated.

Here is the Road and Track Video as reference: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_IWa_qlt3g"]2013 Scion FR-S - YouTube[/ame]
