Try asking in the wheel and tire forum. I'd say if you are stock, keep it stock size for now. If/when you get bigger wheels and/or lower your car, then go with an alternate set of shoes. Changing tire sidewall height when everything else is stock will just increase the gap between your tires and your fenders (looks bad) and throw your speedo off.

There's no point to either staggering tire size on the same size wheel or running wider than stock on stock wheels--it will actually only hurt cornering performance.

And yes, please post this in the proper forum next time.
