Hi all,
Just had the new 18" Rims fitted (thanks to Gordon GEO) and Cooper LTZ 285/60/18 tyres.
First the stats, then some pics.
Clearance height - Has increased by 32mm (must remember for underground car parks)
Noise - Has increased slightly at certain speeds but only minimal.
Speedo Readings - The speedo with original 19" rims & OEM tyres was reading 105Kph @ 100Kph. Now reading 101Kph (almost spot on). Must remember this as well to avoid speeding fines.
Ride - Smoother than before due to the extra tyre wall height.
RPM - Noticed at the true 100Kph, the engine is now reving about 100 RPM less.
Fuel Economy - Not sure yet, however in theory I don't think it will make much difference.
Look - F N Awesome. Have had heaps of comments even though they were only fitted yesterday.
Original Rims & Tyres - I am now selling my orignal SE rims with original tyres (done 27K) for those interested.
Here is a photo of the rims / tyres.
