I have 225/45's on 16" Fuchs on my 74 911 and when researching new tires I was told the proper size (for proper rolling diameter) on my car was 225/50's on a 16" rim. That's about an inch bigger than what I have on, and frankly I don't think there's room in my wheel arches for that size tire (car has been lowered). My question is, if it happens, what will increasing my rolling diameter do to the car's ride? It has to change accleration, but is it noticeable? Obviously an extra inch of rubber will soften the ride some, but what about cornering--will the taller side wall have a large effect on cornering feel? I'd keep the size I have on there--the 225/45--but on Tirerack.com alone there are countless mores tires available at 50 than 45. (70 vs. 4) And I am not liking any of the 4 that are in my size. Thanks to anyone who can give me any advice on this long winded question.
