To have a better cornering feel, change to wider tire, you can feel big different in handling between 265 and 245 (same tire brand and same model)

Tire profile doesn't help a lot.

The fairlady is rear whell drive, hence you need to be careful when taking corners in high speed, easily over steer. Changing rims doesnt really affect much, I agree with ysl. Bigger tires perhaps, however, the set back is when under wet road conditions, you have to be even more careful. The disbursement of water is much more difficult say if you opt for 275 tires for the rear.

Upside is your car is better looking.

Downside - more costly to change tires if you opt for 19inch and above.
- under wet conditions, cannot go too fast.

Always remember, rims don't matter, the type of tires are most important. You can have the lightest rims, but bad quality of tires, its still the same.

For handling, you have to also look at changing your dampers and shocks.

Bigger & wider rubber profile....give your even greater hard braking ability without too much tailslide on the rear end like standard issue tyres profile.
