if so, what is the size I should be looking for, and are there suggested wheel manufacturers you guys would suggest?

technically yes, but without extensive suspension reconfigurment
you'll take a big hit on handling.
^^^ the above only applies if you stagger the tires, particurally if you put WIDER tires on the REAR. should you put wider tires on the front, you might see a marginal (but possibly unbalanced) improvement. ie: less understeer.
happy zev? so, why havent you put a phat lip on the back of your ride?
