What do you mean by "best"? Best for what?

Daily driving comfort? looks? drag racing? handling on a road course? Handling on the street?

I wish I could get rid of some of that space in the rear wheel well.
However, I found that on a road track you have a well balanced car when all four tires are same size....so that limits when I would do on the rears, unless I want to try different (stickier) tire types up front (which will be a problem for wear for sure...

So as you can se, there are various things to consider. What are your goals?
