If you want grip, or more of it, then get wider tires. When you start limiting your tire size to the opposite side of the spectrum then you limit the functionality of the vehicle itself. To each their own. If you want to stretch go right ahead but please just limp back and forth to the car show. Otherwise I might suggest getting two sets of wheels. One for show and one for go.
David, you and I both know these guys are more concerned with looks than performance. No argument from me about that

But to argue that the car is suddenly dangerous or undriveable is just plain false

<-Can't believe he is the voice of reason for stretched tire setups
