I agree that you can definitely feel the difference. Instantly. I mean, in an Impreza you can easily feel when one tyre is 2psi down.

What I was trying to say though was that as going for larger wheels increases the overall weight, and therefore reduces acceleration slightly, was the cornering benefit worthwhile on normal roads.

p.s. Tanstaafl - Obviously I was destined to be in that top 2%, only an evil troll swapped me at birth for someone named McRae. Life just ain't fair.
