The car didn't come with huge wheels and tires because they didn't exist.
They didn't develop the low profile tires and I'm not sure they could get
them to hold a rim without popping in "the old days." Your fine tuned
instrument handles considerably worse than ANY modern car, even your
sister's minivan. A 57 and up Imperial may ride better than today's cars,
but it won't handle as well. One of the main reasons is tire development.
Once again, I agree that if the suspension is worn that's a serious problem.
I tend to doubt it. 20s are an extreme change and obviously need to be well
thought out, but to go to a +2 or 17" rim would require very little change
and would without a doubt improve handling. I like to drive fast too and
I'd rather have a good set of low profile tires under me when I do it.
