Just keeps with the old school JDM look and feel that I'm so fond of.

So I'd really like to run wider tires on my wheels and it seems as 15" tires become a dying thing, the optional wider sizes are going with them
Go with a stickier compound tire then. Wide doesn't equal good traction. And if you're making enough power to spin tires at will, you're not doing yourself any favors running a tire that won't stick.
