Stock Goodyears & wider wheels on SS

So...A common practice to improve tire performance is to stretch it on a slightly wider wheel. Example: 245/45/20 recommended is 8.5in. so put it on a 9.0in wheel. Most performance 245s tread width...

Does not make sense unless you are going to track the car! Then you need more than wider tires.

I doubt they can really make any meaningful improvements with the stock wheels and tires. The rears are too small to handle more slip angle. Maybe
