Tire/rim size recommendations
I'm looking to do some suspension work on my car soon, 98 ex coupe. Hopefully I'll be doing a disk swap in the rear, and GC/Koni Yellow setup. What I was wondering is what size tire/rim size would fit well with this, primarily for good grip and handling? This will mostly be a DD, but it may see a track once or twice this summer. Right now I have 195/60/14 on there, close to stock. How wide could I get this, and what are the pros/cons to getting everything wider? In terms of grip and handling, would it better to get higher grip tires, a wider rim/tire, or a mix of both?

Re: Tire/rim size recommendations (macson)
I wouldn't get a bigger wheel than 16".
For the 16" you should look into 205-45-16 tires.
More rubber means more grip.
if you want the best cornering grip look for tires with almost a smooth outside shoulder block.
