I had once chance to try 13"x6" alloys with 175/50/13 tires on them.
This was SOMETHING! I never imagined how wide can 175 tire look,
and the traction was superb and of course the acceleration was a
way better too. But my car sat only 5 cm off the ground and I couldn't
use it longer than only on that track where we were.

So 175 can be wide too! :)
