18's on a Scion xA
I'm getting a scion xA pretty soon and been getting mixed answers for the following question.
Will the 18's lower the gas mileage?
If so, is it by a lot?
thanks guys, the rims are RS Limited with low profile tires.

It can. If you go with the big bling bling, then yes. If you go with light weight, then just a little if not get a pinch better. The stock wheel + tire weight IIRC is like 37LBs. So if you can get a wheel & tire combo of this weight or less, you should be doing the same or better. Now you will have more rolling resestiance from the wider wheel. So it might equal itself out some. Stay away from the bling & you should be good

only a lil
i got 18" enkeis on mine and i still drive forever. it takes me only a quarter tank or less to make it to myrtle beach from fayetteville nc. FOnt know how good that is but in my old car it used to take me half a tank on stock wheels. so im alot happier. u can check my car out on the link under this.
