your right about the radius size slowing you down, but usually, when you buy new wheels the new tires to fit will have a lower profile, and despite the fact thet you have increased your radius by an inch, the lower profile usually compensates. I have 17" motegi mr7's(white) with 215/45/17 toyos, and when you put them next to my old wheels, they are the same size. So I felt absolutly no difference.

but a larger tire would make your radius longer.

it will also screw up your speedometer

good luck finding the right tires for yourself
