[QUOTE="white95, post: 1533498, member: 10188"] Few things off hand. You’d certainly benefit from the tad larger contact patch. You will be adding a marginal amount of unsprung weight but probably won’t notice it much. Another thing to consider is the 25.55” tire will gain ground clearance and also take a little longer to rotate, comparatively, to the 24.92”. Again, marginal differences that could go unnoticed. I started out with 18’s but noticed a big difference going from a 275/35r18 (25.58”) to a 315/30r18 (25.44”) Not a significant change in height. The car accelerated faster but also has MORE willingness to spin with the shorter 315/30’s. The difference in grip was very significant as was the tendency to “tramline” on certain road surfaces.
