    Just installed 17s lightweight mags on 215/40R17 Advan Neovas on my Sentra n16. Fits well, no offset adjustments needed.

    Someone told me to expect poorer gas consumption?
    Makes sense since wheels now need slightly more torque to move.

    But is the difference that substantial and the FC increase that noticeable?
    Should I be worried?...

    depends on how you drive and what kind of traffic you're into. di naman masyadong napapansin yung change in FC. lalo sa high speed. just smooth acceleration and proper step on your gas pedal, you'll just have identical fC compared to your previous.

    may i ask, what lightweight shoes did you put on your n16? any pics?

    Nothing to worry as long your happy with your new shoes. Neovas are great tires more grip but for everyday use its easily worn out if your driving habit is hard.

    I think it's Rota, similar to the 6-spoke Circuit but in 17s.
    Gold spokes, not polished lip. Will post pics as avaible.
    It's got used Neova AD70s which Im bound to replace soon with maybe cheaper rubber like Champiros.
    Thanks po..

    Thanks po. I heard Neovas are expensive.
    They came used, one set with the mags. They're due replacement soon and Im thinking of Champiros para mas mura po.
    Yes po, very happy..

    Pampalubag loob nalang yung mags sa sale money of my previous car..

    Neova AD07s are definitely not comfortable tires. The stiff sidewalls mean that even at 15" with generous sidewall, they do not give a plush ride. AD07s and the newer AD08s are made for cornering, not comfort.

    FYI lang

    Mods this is a duplicate post. My apologies. Please lock...

bigger mags, lesser gas mileage
