Better tires or wider wheels?

i can't say it enough that tires made a huge difference for me.
i had factory 20x9's 265/35R20 goodyear F1 assymetricals and they spun like crazy in 1st and 2nd. i just could not hook up.

i did my research here and asked questions. i went with a lighter and wider wheel ( SVE 357's ) in a 19x10, 19x11 staggered setup. as for rubber, i went with a very popular continental extreme contact sport 02's ( 275/40R19 Front and 295/35R19 Rear)

doing this got my 1/4 mile and 0-60 down from 13+ and 5+ to my personal best last night of 12.44 and 4.36 on the E85R tune.

and the best part...no spinning. i went full send and that pedal stayed planted until past 130

You went with a larger diameter tire in the front? this doesn't look funny?

According to the calculator on the Discount Tire site....the overall tire height in the rear is .54 inches shorter than the front.

So i finally decided , got some good summer tires and a 20x10 wheel in the back with 285 35 19. Car grips a lot more now! No traction control as of yet. Happy with it now. thank you everyone.
