Ok there are several active threads discussing the needed option parts, upgrades, etc. But I'm wondering what happens to the handling of a car if you put bigger meats on it than it came with. For example, if your car came with 20's rear and 19's front what would happen if you put 20's on the fronts? Given of course that the body has enough room without rubbing or issues. Has anyone tried this type of mod? What were your results?

been there, done that... i tried to put a 19F/20R combination on my Mazda 787b (stock is 18F/20R). this made the car oversteer, spin-out, etc... the only models that can take on larger wheels without negatively effecting normal handling are the ones with the same size on front/rear (Gallardo, Subaru, Skyline, R8, etc)

On my son's Enzo, I put 19/20 instead of 18/20. And it works fine. I also tried 19/19 and the car was quicker out of a turn but the acceleration was not as smooth.
