Bigger rim=shorter sidewall. That way all these people driving donk'ed out Z's don't exactly LOOK like they gave up all that traction, braking, and ride-quality.

because wheel size is the only thing that determiens those. Not the make/model of tire, the suspension modifications, or any brake mods. Just the wheels.

in that case is 19" the universal best grip/braking/ride quality wheel? Or is it any 18" wheel?

P.S do explain how someone going from base 18's with advan sports to maybe a 20" wider wheel with better tires is "giving up braking/traction"
