I have a 95 Hyundai Accent and was thinking of putting 16's on it, but was thinking about doing some cutting and trying to tuck 17's. Let me know what you think.

Thanks,

Hey Poacher,
It might be do-able. I know a guy a work that went from 14's to 17's on his Toyota Corolla. Looks sharp!! However, will the change in increased tire ratio decrease your MPG's and how would the little four banger handle the change. Good Luck, please include pics when you make the change.
Thanks,
Brant

As afr as MPG I am not sure, I don't think that it will make a difference worth mentioning honestly. I have enough power, trust me that is not an issue and I am looking for a lightweight race rim not a heavy blinger so I don't think that will be a factor. I think I have decided to stick with 16's and will send pics when I am done.
