If I got 18's how much slower does that make the car approx.? Also, would a 40 profile tire be feasible on 18's or only on 17's?

Thank you!!!

I don't think that the rim size really has much to do with how much slower the car will be. What the big difference will be is the weight of the rim. Our celicas stock rims(the 5 star 15's) are very light. Keep the weight of rims in mind when you're shopping around for them.

I have 215/40/18's for tires and they work very well for me. They just give me that little extra rubber to protect from all the road problems people have with low pro tires.
