I posted this in another thread a while back, but it's relevant here too:
Going bigger/wider isn't necessarily better in terms of feel in my opinion. My experience with 17x9 with 245/40 is:
Pros:
- heavier/more steering feel
- more confidence with high-speed turns/sweepers
- looks really nice when wheels & tires are more flush with the body
Cons:
- acceleration feels a bit more sluggish
- less agile with quick/tight transitions
- more body roll if you're not making any suspension changes
I missed the more agile feel, so I ditched the 9" + 245 combo and went to a 8" + 225 as a compromise between stock. But even now, I'm contemplating on downsizing again to 7.5" or 7" + 215...
