Wheel Upgrade: 14" to 15"
Guest 5 February 2005 15:06:53
	I found a few posts regarding this topic from the past. Answers ranged from: "You will lose gas mileage due to increased friction/weight/wheel mass", to "Go with the 15's because there are more tire/size choices (than 16" or 17")", or "Go with the 15's because you will get better handling and they will look better". While I didn't disagree with any of the answers above, unfortunately I couldn't find one aspect I was looking for: braking. From a weight perspective, I don't think upgrading my 2001 Civic from 14" to 15" would cause that much of a weight gain. My concern is that there is greater surface area with a 15" wheel than a 14" wheel and that my stock brakes would have to upgraded (and rotor probably upgraded as well). I saw this mentioned someplace (maybe in this ng). In any case, I would like to get other's thoughts and opinions on this matter. And also, if I did upgrade my wheels to 15", what other changes would be necessary to make (besides the brakes)? Steven

	Wow! Thanks Kempi! Your reply is awesome!!! So helpful! =) I never realized by changing tire size that it could affect your speedometer. That explains why my old Corolla was always rated "slower" than what my speedometer said (when I drove by "Your Speed" signs). I thought it was just wrong. Steven
