You won't gain much more grip as you've got the 195s on em but they are lighter than the conventional 17inch wheel, but all round your have a better surface area

The et is the distance from the centre of the rim to the hub, so it will only effect driving line if one of the wheels are more +/- deg than the other, it all depends on your setup, as wheels and tyres will only increase or decrease drag on either wheel

Escort cos wheels on rst cause bad torque steer the centre line of the tyre is too far from the steering centre line, et30 is as low as I would go if you like to drive the car
