It's pretty much just for looks. In theory I would think that wider is better, like the comercial says.

Seeing how I only have the stock 245, rear tires, the benifits would be minimal.

I found that with the stock springs and no wheel spacers and now with my Hotckis springs and wheel spacers, that there seems to be no real differance that I can see or feel in corner hugging ability, good or bad.

I do not slow down for corners or pu$$y foot the gas with the spacers. I drive it the same as if they were not there.

I think my Z needs some 275/35/19's out back or maybe even 295/30's but that ain't gonna be in this years budget.

I live for corners and I'm not so concerned with staright line acceleration.
