Have you tested various tire widths by comparing track times? Sure, 245s or 255s are probably adequate and the best choice for most, but that's not to say that larger tires won't turn faster laptimes. I'm guessing Sasha wasn't running 275 f/305 r just for looks.
For looks? I doubt it. Once you start pushing high hp and tq a wider wheel is highly desirable, if not, needed.
