as per title guys im looking at getting some new wheels soon and was just wondering which size wheel and tyre combo offers the best handling characteristics??

im currently running 5.5x15 yaris alloys with 8mm spacers and 195/50 rainsport 2 tyres but wondering if a 7" wheel or 45 profile tyre maybe the better option??

rim+tire combo

i'm on 205/50/15 GT Radials and they've been good to me. anything bigger than 16" on this chassis means you must have glass roads to drive on, or drive slower than a tricycle. larger rims also tend to be a little heavier on these cars imo.. :)

the starlet sr came with 15's and a 45 profile tyre, offset was 39. so thats probably best, lol
but ive used 50 profile tyres cos theyre cheaper, or were at the time,
however i think you should use whaterver looks best on your car, the ride height and wheel make a difference. personal preference
