does putting on bigger wheels make your car acclerate faster... i could just be fooling myself but to me with the 17s i got on seem to me that the car does acelerate..also by going wider
man the traction is crazy

no, usually bigger wheels = heavier = a tiny bit less acceleration. traction should be better though.

No actually slower.
Smaller diameter =better acceleration
Bigger diameter = better top end
