Did you lose mileage going to 17" wheels?
With a mild drop and resonably light weight 17" and 205s... how much MPGs did you lose? and can we assume a 17" setup weight about the same as 15" steelies with hubcaps and factory rubber.

No, I think it is going to be quite a bit heavier. I am not sure what that equates to in mileage but I am sure any weight gain would amount to some loss. If you really want 17's I wouldn't stress about that but I would be sure and get lightest wheels I liked. I think the stock wheels and tires are 33lbs. I think.

what is the weight on those stock steelies?
I didn't know you got new wheels? I'm one to talk since I still haven't got pics of mine but let's see some pics? I guess you'll be lowering soon to?

My 17's produced no difference in mileage. Ok, I'm lying; I have 205/40/17's which are slightly smaller than stock. Because of this my speedo is recording more miles than it should and hence makes my MPG appear higher. I guess my drop in mileage equals my speedo error making my MPG appear the same as it was with the stock steelies. Not much though, 3% of 35 MPG = a drop of 1.05 MPG. Seems right... |
