Unless you track your car or add FI, going wider than stock adds nothing to performance and is worse on wet roads. Upgrading your tires from OEM does make a much bigger difference (which is what I did on a new 2018). Those who do it are, for the most part, supercar wannabes -- or worse, ricers. Yes, those wide tires and low offset rims do look sexy. And yes, I did this kind of stuff when I was young, i.e., intakes, exhausts, headers, wheels/tires. The difference? I've now owned supercars and know the difference. Also, every time I hear an inexpensive car with a loud exhaust, I think "ricer". The exception are those who race their cars and are looking at every minute improvement.
