Plus Sizing
One of the easiest ways to improve the performance of your vehicle is with Plus Sizing wheels and tires. Plus Sizing refers to tires that are wider and have a shorter sidewall. The result is a larger contact patch and a sportier look.
Drivers choose Plus Sizing to improve:
• Steering response
• Handling
• Cornering ability
• The look of your vehicle
What's "Inch Up"?
"Inch Up" is the process of mounting a lower aspect ratio tire and larger diameter wheel on your car. This effect creates a larger contact patch and a shorter sidewall.
Why "Inch Up"?
"Inch Up" to improve your vehicle's performance and appearance.
• Increased steering response
• Improved dry handling
• Enhanced cornering ability
• Aggressive good looks

MotorTrend did a test on this exact subject. They used the same vehicle but switched from a smaller wheels on up to the larger wheels. When they got up to the 20in+ sizes the performance decreased across the board.
