" I want better acceleration and cornering."
If you love driving and are looking for performance enhancements, aftermarket wheels can play a role. Choosing a larger-diameter wheel will decrease the tire's sidewall height. This adds responsiveness. You'll notice higher stability and better cornering. You'll achieve that low-profile style you're after. Done correctly, larger wheels can improve acceleration and reduce braking distance. You'll feel more road feedback. Bigger diameter wheels can also mean shorter tire life and higher price points than conventional sizes. You may feel bumps in the pavement a bit more. On full-sized pickup trucks, a larger tire and wheel package can mean you may not get as tight a turning radius as before. Another consideration for truck owners could be weight. The maximum plus size wheel-tire package for light trucks and SUVs may make the setup heavier than OE, depending on the type of wheel you pick. A heavier setup could mean longer stopping distances along with increased suspension and brake wear.

When it comes time to get a set of new tires, drivers have a lot of options...

Traditionally, the most expensive option is to return to the dealership. Dealers will replace worn tires with original-equipment tires. This option can cost twice as much as going to the local shop down the street. That local shop, be it a national chain or mom-and-pop establishment, like us, is probably the BEST PLACE for the average consumer to shop for new tires saids car expert Mark Bilek.
