Question for those of you that have 18s
I have a set of 18x7.5 rims that were to go on to my 98 accord but now that I'm in the market for the FIT I wanted to see if the 18s would be good on the fit as well
First question: I see those of you that do have 18s have a tire size of 215-35-18s. I checked out a tire size calculator and determined that a 205-35-18 would be closer to the speedo reading than the 215s. Has anyone seen 205-35-18s??
Also knowing that 18s are usually heavier than wheels that are smaller, did those of you with 18s find a hugh difference in mpg once you put the 18s on?
Obviously having 18s is a personal choice. I am thinking of selling the 18s and then when I get my Fit I want to go to a 17in rim and wrap them with 205-40-17s (which I know by using the calculator should be almost exactly the same speedo reading as the OEM 15s)
But if the performance of the car (mainly the mpgs are just slightly affected then I will keep my 18s and throw them on the fit when I get it
Let me know what you think
Thanks
