Hi

I disagree with what Humble said about the larger wheels not helping with handling.

Lower sidewalls give better handling but at the expense of a slightly harsher ride.

Lower overall rolling diameter gives poorer contact patch for the tyre on the road, so that's why when going to larger diameter wheels you need low profile tyres to keep the rolling diameter close to original.
