Wider will most likely be taller, which will drive the stability control batshit.

Besides, at 19"/20" and already at 285/335 wide, there're not many tires available, and certainly none cheap. OE Cup ZP and PS2 ZP tires are great.

A little over a month ago I bought a set and ended up ordering from Tire Rack. At the time they were a little cheaper than Discount Tire and some of the other online places. They all seem to be within about $100 for a set of 4.

I tried looking for another decent alternative, preferably a non run flat... and honestly OEM is best bet.
