Instead of tunning the gearbox and "stretch" 5th gear so I could rum @90km/h @2000rpm (for now it does 70km/h with that rpm), I could put some bigger wheels/tires (instead of 65R15", change to 55R16" or 45R17").
Also if this is done only in the front wheels, wouldn't the car be slightly more aerodynamic with a decreased rear angle?
