Which is better? Bigger or smaller magwheels....

[tidus1203]

Which is better for overall FC in general, bigger magwheels (diameter wise); thinner tires or smaller magwheels; thicker tires. Just out of curiosity....

Narrower tires tends to be trifty in terms of FC.

Increasing the diameter (a little) will improve FC at "high" speeds. But may use more fuel at "low speeds".

actually sir the smaller and narrower the size of the tire the better the FC, the opposite applies when you use bigger and wider tires.... theres actually a computation for FC somewhere here, medyo hahanapin nga lang....

another thing to consider would be the ride of your vehicle.. a lower profile would mean better road control but harder ride, a thicker rprofile would gie you a better/softer ride

Narrower and harder tires would give better FC numbers.

As for bigger or smaller diameter wheels, it would depend on the type of driving the vehicle will be doing.

If it is mostly highway with minimal stop/start cycles, a bigger diameter wheel (than standard) would give better FC numbers because a bigger wheel would let the engine run at a lower RPM. This would be similar to having a higher final gear ratio.

If the vehicle is carrying a heavy load, having smaller diameter wheels would help give the vehicle a slightly higher torque. This is similar to having a lower final gear ratio.

Wider tires would give better grip but at the cost of increased friction and poorer FC numbers.

Taller tires would give better ride comfort but these tires would tend to give less handling capability due to their tendency to deflect/deform during hard cornering.

if you're concern sa FC and you're only driving dito sa city... stock rim ok na... pero kung porma ang habol mo hehehehe... get a bigger mags...

[alwayz_yummy]

go the what fits your liking, but please, dont go beyond or below the stock wheel diameter..it will cause you speedometer reading in-accurate

As well as contributing to a heavier vehicle, adding heavier wheels adds to the unsprung weight of the vehicle. This means the engine has to work slightly harder just to turn the wheels themselves, which can rob you of power and/or fuel efficiency. They'd have to be pretty heavy wheels to see a really noticable drop in mpg though.

Bigger wheels syempre, dapat chrome.

[overboost]

the original tire and wheel specs will give you the best FC IMHO.
