I dont see why the size of the wheel and tyre affects your need to do a suspension or brake upgrade :confused:

How about some 20" Carbon Fibre composite rims - should be cheap too :roll:

Unsprung weight can do quite a bit to change braking, acceleration, and handling on a car.

I don't know if the original poster was talking about upgrading, or if he was just talking about change in the characteristics of braking and handling...

Either way, changes in unsprung weight will change certain aspects of a car's performance.
