Anyone running 18's notice a difference in the car's acceleration???? Im having a hard time deciding on either 17's or 18's

 

No difference in acceleration as long as you make sure the correct tire size is on there so that the circumefrence of the package is the same as stock. Weight is another thing, but my 18" OZs are very close to the stock weight, so I havent noticed any difference.

 

Even if your new 18s are the same as the stock weight, you have to take into account the possibility that the weight of the wheel is farther away from the center.

 

Good point, but I think the difference would be so small, it wouldn't be noticable. Again, I haven't noticed any loss.

 

Appreciate the info fellas.....18's it is!!!

 

I have 18" no noticable difference on the butt meter
Comfort: depends on how much PSI, generally around 33-36 PSI no difference 38-40 very bouncy

17" is very similar to 16", I would stick with stock, not worth the change

Highly recommend the 18"
Good luck

 

Be careful with 18's. There aren't too many 18's that actually have the right offsets (particularly if you go wider).

 

F51+
R64+ offset will be fine

 

I put 18x8f & 18x9r on the car the minute I drove it home from the dealership. After a few months put the stock wheels and tires back on and HATED it! Less traction, less VTEC engagement "jolt" and the ride was less responsive...Sold the stockers the next day.

 

16 ON TRACK, 18 on the street,
