225/50-15 is great, if your brakes still fit inside a 15" rim.
225/45-17 from GrandAm competition cars 235/40-17 is great
The larger rims usually weigh more, and this hurts acceleration a bit.

With my research, i've found that the tires actually weight more than the wheels. the 17" wheels I found are about 16.5lb where the 215/45 tires are about 22.5lb
which theoretically should be somewhere around 40lb
