Wheel/Tire ?

I would like to get 17 or 18" rims for my 1g awd. I was wondering would I notice a handling improvement over my current whee/tire combo? 16x7 rims with bfgoodrich g force ta kdw 225/50/16. Lets assume the same type of tire, with a lower profile of course was on a 17 or 18" rim. And I just want bigger for looks, and I LOVE paying more for tires. I feel like the 1Gs have a huge gap to fill. Anyways, thanks.

Re: Wheel/Tire ?

Assuming the wheel/tire combo is lower in weight, you will get a definite increase in handling and response.
