Boost, jus' be aware that wider tires on the back'a Stewie can possibly give you less grip at that end'a things. (Jus' the thought puts the ol' sphincter into max pucker).
Dependin' on the actual tire, it's a real balancin' act as to pounds-per-square-inch that makes up the tire's ability to grip. Go beyond that point n' too much tire hasn't got as much grip as a smaller patch tire n' also has the added benefit of so much more ('Have any idea how much rubber weighs?) unsprung weight.
D'j'ever wonder why they don't jus' put fat tires on everything? D'j'ever wonder why Stewie ain't got 325s up front n' 425s in the back?
Mother's designers did a fair job'a settin' Stewie up. 'S'not ta say that certain changes wouldn't be tolerated, bu'cha godda realize that certain areas are already at the edge n' unwise decisions in those areas will not lead to improvement.
But, if it's jus' for looks . . .
Be well.
