> Just adding a wider tire on the same wheel wont give you the result you want. If you want crisper handling with less tire roll (none of this has anything to do with body roll) you need to reduce your sidewall height, pick a tire model with a stiffer sidewall, or both.

Both the stock size and the wider 16" size have identical sidewall heights. The more i think about it the more I’m beginning to think i just want to stick with my stock wheels and just get a stiffer sidewalled tire like you said. Is there any ratings to look for that will show which one is stiffer than another??
