Did anyone try to put a corolla wheel on xd.
15" vs 16" save gas and lower the car maybe.

dont think anyone has done this because:

1. stock corrolla wheel/tire is 195/65/15, stock xd is 195/60/16. that means the radial difference between the two tires is like 1/10th of an inch, something you wont notice for trying to lower a car. and if anything, its going to make the wheel gap larger, giving you the opposite desired effect.

also, for highway speeds at least, a smaller overall tire is going to reduce gas mileage after a certain point because it requires more rpms to go the same speed. if anything, youd be better off getting a slightly larger diameter wheel/tire than stock that weighs less.

this is something thats just not practical...

i honestly want the 18 inch optional wheels on the Matrix XRS, look so sexy but itll probably ride too high for my liking
