something taller than stock. fitting some 26" wheels would do the trick.

Size is good and all, but a lot of people forget about the actual weight of the tire. When its spinning that weight is multiplying and adding more "roll on" weight, that actualy slows you down.

So a lighter tire can in fact make you go faster same with lighter wheels. Tire rack has is a great place to find tire weight and sizes. Stock Advans are 25 lbs.
Good luck!

Ditto, thanks for a good laugh after a lousy day at work.

And to the original post, the stock tires are 17", so anything bigger than that will make the MPH go up, but even with bigger tires (that'd fit the car) the overall circumference will only be a few inches more, and with about 63k inches in a mile I don't think there can be a noticeable difference in MPH, might as well spend the money elsewhere.
