would 18s slow me down

[beeker82]

i might have a good deal going on some polished z06 18 inch wheels and tires,would these slow me down at all????? i have a 95 3.4 with an a4

[LD]

yes

[95fbirdkid]

technically yes, but you're not gonna be a speed deamon anyway so idk you'll notice a huge difference

[shenanigans]

Yes they will, I noticed a difference between a 245s and 235s on the different sets of wheels.

Big difference between my 275s and 17s and my any tires on 16s...

[RicE-ter]

Yes because the slight weight and size difference would slow down the wheels from spinning a lil but you can always change out the clutch, tranny, and/or flywheel and also add

MORE POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [img]graemlins/rock.gif[/img] and take advantage of the longer push and increased tire surface area touching the ground

[shenanigans]

problem is most people are generally brok after buying 18"s [img]smile.gif[/img]

ok,would 17s be as bad??? right now i have the salad shooters with 245/50s i think,ill just go with 245/45/17s,would this be a huge difference?

I have 18s. They are more expensive. The rubber for them is going to be more expensive. I can't tell the difference in my speed, but my car is just for looks anyways.
