Question what difference in handling is present with wider tires or larger offsets. Is there a performance gain in is this only cosmetic.
For summer tires, the tire tread and compound make a bigger difference, unless you're talking a massive change in tire size. Larger offsets are usually done for either cosmetic reasons or for clearance against hitting other components.

For winter tires I can't comment as I will never need them where I live.
