17" or 18" wheels, whats the BIG difference? How much 0-60 loss? from 18's

[MDCelicaGTS]

I have 17" Konig's on my 00 celica gts right now, but just bought some 18" enkei's. What kinda drop can I put on my car, and will I be pushing it with the 18's , and should keep the 17's? Need to know guys.

I currently have 18" Enkei CD-R9 with 1 inch Tanabe drop. Not too bad. I also notice that my speedo is off by a few and also the car accelerates slower. Basically, if you go 18" you will drop in performance. Also the 18" are pretty heavy so that slows you down. Hope this help in some way ;)

18's definately slow you down.

I have 18" Enkei RS5 with Eibach Pro kit which is like 1" drop. Have a kit which brings the car lower too, so it looks pretty low.

You could always sell them. The Moment of Inertia is higher [not good] the weight is greater [not good] and you effectively geared the car "taller" [not good]. So you lose at every turn [pun intended].

15" x7" would be ideal for the car. Kosei K1 Racing. Lightweight, spun cast and extremely strong. $140 per corner. http://www.TireRack.com
