Question for those who have 18's
I just had some ADR GT Sport rims installed last night and I had heard that having 18's on your car will affect your fuel economy. In other words, my gas mileage is going to suck now that I have 18's vice the stock 16's. Has anyone experienced this or is that not the case? Also, having 18's sure does make you feel every bumb in the road. Oh well, it will take some getting use to. Thanks.

i have had 18's for like 7 months....
and i have not really noticed any major fuel drop off. i also drive like gas is free, but i still can get 450ish on a tank on the hwy. it really depends on your driving style.

Also, your tires... low profile tires= bumpy rides.
I've got 17x8, 235/45/17 tires and they are VERY comfy
BTW- Pics Shadou! Let's see 'em

go with 19 for the best ride of ur life
i would go with 19 but sometimes i like to beat on my baby plus i live in the city and i feel everyday there's a new pothole that pops up! no one really cares to fix them in nyc. 18" does not affect too great of a deal. make sure to drop ur car cuz it will look very funny on 4x4 mode.
