more sidewall up to a point is better for grip
provides more squish I guess you could say in laymans terms. 40 profile is the optimal 35 is ok.

and bigger rims = heavier, you want less weight, if you are concerned about grip and speed, lightweight 18s are the best in a 40 profile. you can get 10 inch wide rims and fit 295s on the GS easily, if you can't get grip with that then you got problems. if you ever want a BBK don't get HP rims trust me I own some. They require spacers and those are a pain. The HPs are great looking an durable rims though.

There is only one stop for rims, their broad selection definitely is the best line up for rims:
