Check this out:gn2 wrote:Looks to me like your confidence is based on your assumption that a wider rim will give you more grip...?
Have you actually confirmed that fitting the oem tyre to a wider rim is safe...?
That chart just suggests that it might OK to fit the tyre to a wider rim.ndaru wrote:So that's why changing my wheel wider makes me more confident...

To have any real validity the chart needs to have been published by the tyre manufacturer IRC.
The chart clearly says you should contact the manufacturer for fitment information.
Also, the referenced chart does not give any indication whatsoever that "grip" and "traction" will be in any way affected by using a wider rim.
So your confidence remains misplaced.
