Buy lighter, wider wheels and run wider tires. If stock 8.5/9.5 wide wheels, I would stick with no more than +10mm tire width. If competition 9/10 wide wheels, no more than +20mm width.
But consider what BMW did on the competition package -- they ran wider wheels but left the same tire size. The wider wheels have the effect of firming up the sidewall while also slightly increasing tread contact patch.
