Hi Guys,
I've just bought a Jazz VTi 5 speed manual and 85% of the reason for purchase was due to the fact these things are just bloody fantastic on fuel. Problem is the 14" stock rims are puny and the ride is a bit bouncey to say the least.
Current width of the tyres is 14x5.5 (I think....might be even skinnier). My instant fuel consumption sits steady between 5.8L-6.0L per 100km and thats even during heavy city traffic.
If I go for a nice set of 16x6.5 inch wheels, will this cause fuel consumption to increase, and if so by how much?
Any help appreciated,
Cheers - Ian
