ok i searched and i couldnt find anything on this ...... i'm poor and need to save for a new paint job and need new tires...... i what would be the cheapest way to get better traction from stock rims? put wider tires on them right? so now my questions are:

1. how wide of a tire can the stock rims hold

2. i'm going to need a spacer aint i

3. if i need a space what size would it be and from where (lets say 215/60)

4. anything i'm missing?

its up to you, you want more grip? dont accelerate during cornering, youre either going to grip forwards (accelerate) or grip sideways (turn) one or the other, some of each, but not both 100%.

get a set of used higher performance tyres... not as much tread and theyre used so itll be cheaper, just make sure theyre not over 5 years old.
