thinking of going wider

Looking for some info and and thoughts on going a few inches wider.

Where I ride and plan on riding 55" would be tight but still OK. So I was wondering is there a big difference in handling and stability going a few inches wide of stock?

And if so what are some of the best ways of going by it. I’m already thinking of new shoes and rims. Was thinking 9" on all 4 or should o go with the 9" and 11" set up. Or is wheel spacers a better way of going?

What have you guys done?
