Just put new Wheels on
Up graded from 15's to 16's, 185/60/15 to 205/50/16. The difference is amazing. Tires worked out to be almost the same height installed. No rubbing.
The tires are Made by Nexen. Really good brand for really good cost. Last edited by nick1983; 04-10-2007 at 11:11 AM. |

I will get some once it is out of the shop. Putting them on I noticed that the paint was actually peeling off my drivers side fender. It is getting repainted under warrenty.

I think I am going to get 15 with 205/50. I'd like to see some pics of what you've installed.

Guys, bigger wheels mean less torque, and less power, and slower off the line performance, ah, and lower MPG...looks aside, what good are they?!?

I put 18's on my Golf and hated it. I want no more than 15 inchers on this car personally. I have seen 16's that love very nice though and it is tempting, but, no.

 Why? Because they look cool...So, question...why oh why, if you dont like rims, do you find yourself looking at and posting comments in a thread about rims? I mean, its like a blind man going into a Lenscrafters and saying he hates glasses. No one really cares that it slows out cars down...its a flipping yaris...it barely has 100hp...the 0.01 second loss in our quarter mile time of 17 seconds is not really going to be missed...and at my average of 46mpg in the city, I can stand to loose a mpg or two in the name of style. In summary...go talk out of your ass in a thread with people who care about your opinion.

And larger wheels will give you better MPG -- not worse. Simply put, a larger wheel and tire travel a further distance after one rotation than a smaller diameter wheel and tire -- requiring less rmps for said distance traveled -- at a cost of torque and "power". You could say weight would make the difference. The reason "alloy" wheels were invented was to save weight. But they can weigh more than stock wheels -- in either case, you may be sacrificing MPG when acceleratingly, but when the car is up to speed the added weight will tend to stabilize the car at said running speed -- further saving gas. That all said, I got 15" wheels with the normal amount of rubber for no other reason than to lessen the chance of curbing the wheel. There are many reasons to choose wheels. "off the line" is one -- one I don't care much for -- but if you wanted to get the best MPG from your wheels and tires -- get the biggest thing that will fit under the strut. |
