    What effect are 17's going to have nova gsi

    Want to put 17's on my Nova GSI, had them on 1.4sr and the car stuck to the road like **** to a blanket, anyone know how much I'll be losing off my 0-60?
    Cheers

    people say 16s are the best overall, anyway,
    you will probably lose a bit on 0-60. And your speedo will probably be slightly out

    As long as you get the correct size tyres they should make very little difference to acceleration. see http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html to work out what you need.

    15s are best for handling with a lot of people choosing 16s for a good handling/looks compromise.
