So I am thinking I would like to go the 17" RPF1s instead of 18s for a little bit more weight reduction, and also perhaps get a less stiff ride with the potholes around my house... I would still get a tire that has a super stiff sidewall so not sure that gives me too much better ride quality...
Anyway someone told me going from 18's to 17's will mess with the speedo. I assume that can be alleviated somewhat by getting bigger tires, but would like some feedback on that. I figure the bigger tires would also help ride quality, and eliminate some gap from the smaller wheel.
Would the bigger tire just add back the weight difference between the 17's and 18's though? If so I would probably just stick with the 18s....
I don't have any suspension work done so I am at stock height if that is any concern.
Thanks for any input!
