Shouldn't make that much of a noticable difference if the tires have the same outer diameter
Correct....Swarzkopf said:The difference is in the weight of the wheels. 18s are considerably heavier than 16s. Not only does the extra weight of the wheel effect the overall weight of the car (by increasing it and requiring more power to get it going), the extra rotational weight of the rear wheels provides more rotating inertia to overcome, again negatively effect acceleration.
Will you notice a huge difference going from 16 to 17 wheels? Eh, probably not...but as changes get more radical (say, in the fox world, 15s up to 18s) you can notice a pretty major slow down.
