[QUOTE="DUCE400, post: 15478152, member: 183430"] Hello everyone! I have been reading posts on this forum and decided to sign up, I am excited to be a part of the community. I drive a 2012 GT 500 SVT (daily driver/ stock) and have owned it for about a year now and am ready to begin looking into my first upgrade. Even stock I find that the car generates more power than the tires can handle so I am set on getting new tires and possibly wheels. But my question is, is it better to keep the stock wheels and simply purchase better tires or attempt to buy wider wheels? And if I go with wider wheels, how wide can I go and what tires would fit well with stock suspension and fenders? I have looked around on the forums and have found a tons of different opinions/ advice. Though I must admit I am a little hesitant to purchase anything for the car without someone explaining it to me one on one. Im not looking to drag on a regular basis but I like to know that the car will grip the road (as best as possible) if I feel a little froggy on the gas. Again this is my daily driver but I live in FL so I can get away with summer tires almost year round. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer! [/QUOTE]
