I know that changing from 4 to 5 lugs will not affect the handling of the car. But I was under the impression that changing to the 5 lug set up was mostly to be able to use wider wheel and tire combinations. I would expect that the larger rubber patch touching the road from a much stickier tire would add grip. No?
How about the additional weight of 16" wheels and tires? This doesn't affect the handling either? |

It's not a hug modification, you can bend the fender.... |
