What size tires for best handling? Options

[SinisterWhisper]

Well I have done searching, but the problem is alot of different people want their tires to do different things. I want my car to handle the best it can, but the tires are needing to be changed so I figure I might as well just get new rims (I have steelies right now) so what set of shoes would give the best handling?

if your gonna get 17x7's, get 215/45/17.

But what rim size would be better on our cars? Forget about looks I am just interested in the handling.

well if all you want is handeling, get some 17 steelies with 225/45/17's on em, steel wheels are very light compared to aloy's and dont get very low profile tires, your gana want that profile of rubber for cutioning but still low enough for some good sidewal streaight. and as wide a tire as you can get on em is best.

16x7- 215/50 16x7.5- 225/45

I have been looking at the 16x7.5, but am having trouble finding rims. As for sidewall I know the less you have the more likely you'll damage the rims but the roads around here are pretty good so I shoudl be alright.

Edit

Supposedly these fit but I do not have an offset or weight for them. http://shop.ozracing.com/moda/ozracing_pro...duct_name=HYDRA
