Tips for increasing my VP$IP?

[ChickenGeorge]

Over the last 10k hands this stat is just below 15% (14.9) for me (with PFR at 8.7%), which is too tight. I think I should increase this to something like 17-18% I guess (if not, tell me), because at the moment I'm probably missing some potentially profitable situations. My question is - which?

I attempt to steal blinds 30.4% and I fold BB to steal 56%. This seems OK so I guess I should loosen up a bit elsewhere...

I'm sure I am not the first one with this "problem" so I'm looking for some tips where to start and what to check first. Some starting hands chart* would also help for orientation, maybe I find some things there I could change in my preflop play.
