Yeah wider tires will put more rubber on the pavement and help increase traction. And if you end up keeping your stock rims, check out tirerack.com. They sometimes have some really good closeout deals on tires.

A handheld tuner can adjust it. But when you do the math, it's usually not off by more than a few mph. Here's a little info on tire sizes and revolutions per mile on the tires: 2005-2009 Mustang Tire Sizes at AmericanMuscle.com - Free Shipping!
