Crazed appropriate wheel size?
Hi All,

just introduced to the group..

I’m a new 159 1.8MPI owner.

The wheels come with 215/55 16” and I would like to replace the wheels with 18 inches. Do you think that, would it strain the performance? Or 17“ 225/50 should be the limit for a 140 hp engine.

thanks in advance
