I'd only do big wheels and BBK on this car if I went forced induction.
Also did lightweight pulleys at the same time and waited to drive until they were on the same time. Man it pulls so much quicker and the revs climb faster!

And people also forget that the rim of the wheel and the bead of the tire are heavy compared to tire sidewall. Smaller tims move these unsprung rotational masses closer to the hubs.
There are very few performance advantages to fitting larger rims with short sidewall tires and some obvious disadvantages.
