I agree. There is a point at which larger wheels/tires (and drop for that matter) look cartoonish to me. And on track rubber band tire sidewalls are a detriment.

Tire size numbers, what they mean

Hello all, came across this post while trying to find the answer to the exact same question. Realized that there is a misunderstanding about the meaning of the numbers in tire sizes. The second number is the height of the side wall as a percentage of the width. Therefore, 265/30/20 has definitely a higher side wall (30 percent of 265mm) when compared to 255/30/20 (30 percent of 255 mm). Thought to share.
