17" on GD1

[golfphunk]

GD1 owners, with 17" wheels...what is your comment?
how much l/km are u getting with 17" wheels and are u happy with 17" on the car?

i'm not after the performance comments..but how slower is your car with 17" on first and 2nd gear? do u really need to rev it up to get the car moving from the traffic lights?

ive had 14s, 15s, 16s, and 17s on my jazz. Love the 17s, im debating on 18s for my next set? 17s fit perfectly, no scraping at all, and generally tyres are easier to get and cheaper than 16s. They dont even put my speedo out!

id never go smaller than 17

:)

i reckon 18" is the perfect fit for jazz!

[golfphunk]

ok..
so no scrubbing on the rear?


i only know 17x7 offset +43 has no scrubbing...but wat about +40, +42, +48...any idea?

[Jezzah]

i've got 17x7 with tyres at 205/40's and the offset at +40. it only scrubs 2 mm at the rear. but that can be fixed with a file. whats it really scraping is the little block of plastic where it holds the bumper to the car.
get 17's if ur not gonna fuss about the fuel consumption because its gonna drink alot.
on my car i've got a power intake including rims, and i'm doing about 11L/100km average. sometimes i get to like 16.5L/100km (maybe its becasue the way i drive)

cheers jezzah

sttich: how many L/100km are u doing with your 17"?


around 7.3L/100km average is what shown on the meter when rolling on 17".

i wouldnt say the digital meter is quite accurate, but its a fair indication. i normally get less kms than wat its suppose to get according to the meter.

full tank got around 530kms only if i remember ..havnt been on full tank for a long time :o

I recently put 16" ROH Adrenaline wheels with 205/45R16 87W tyres on the wife's Jazz. These wheels were on my 3rd gen Prelude. They fit the Jazz perfectly. Going from 14" to 16" has made a HUGE difference to handling, so much sharper and responsive. I really hope the fuel economy doesn't go away. I have Spoon Springs sitting in the garage for the Jazz too, I hope the 16s don't scrape.

my rims are cheap shit xhp. and they are 6.5" :)

[golfphunk]

i'm currently getting 5.8L - 6.2L with the way i drive in the city...
