Not much in terms of tire selection, but the wider rim allows less sidewall flex, which is good for response. Pick up a set of 245/45/16 race tires and you should be quite competitive. 16's are also lighter as well.

If you have a 1 piece steel wheel, you can get them widened as well. There was a thread on the other forum about it, I'll try to dig it up later.
