Default Best Handling Wheel/Tire size combo??

Moderator,
Please leave this in the handling section since my quest is not for appearance improvements.

Wanted to hear from those who have ventured into bigger "meats" what effects it had on handling??

All input welcome, however I don't think I would ever be a candidate for staggered front to rear combo's. damon

i have 245/50/16(w) conti extreme contact all arond on my gs rims, handles 10x better than the 205's i had for a while, but my back tires are about getting to be slicks so im gonna put 225/50 in the front, and keep the 245/50 in the rear that should be good for me, gotta have less rubber up front. but the 245's are great cant complain tons more confidece high speeds 120+ but the sway bar did also help a good deal. hope that helped, want to lower very soon so my handling will be complete
