it does if you want a second set of wheels.

Here is Ed Blown's wheel/tire combo and he listed this link to it.

Hi Jet 1 have you made any tire/rim decissions?

nope...

I think the goodyear foretera triple tread is potentially the best choice if I just get new tires. still don't know the wheel weight but so far it looks like larger than 18" will add enough unsprung weight to negate any benefits to having larger tires.
