[QUOTE="bimmerman, post: 59807, member: 126"] My underpowered E34 M50B20 was on 225/55/16 and for some reason felt more sluggish than it should be. After going for 225/45/17 the car became lighter and more responsive to throttle input. Really strange and defies conventional wisdom. Maybe the new rims are lighter? But the lesson i've learnt is that upsizing your rims may not always have a negative impact on performance. [/QUOTE]
