Rotational inertia increases proportionally with mass, but increases exponentially by the distance from the center of the wheel.
With identical weight,a smaller wheel is easier to spin than a larger one. You're lightweight 18s need to be lighter to compensate for the larger diameter, and even lighter to reduce rotational inertia. Someone might correct me but: I = m × d² |

yeah it would make a difference if there were no tires involved. wider wheel, wider tire. take weight off wheel, add weight with tire. offset of the wheel matters too along with the width, like someone pointed out.

lol. I wouldn't worry about the car losing it's handling characteristics. With that being said, much more grip over stock. Acceleration will suffer a bit (trivially, really) with such a wide wheel (and heavier tire) but you already mentioned a much more conservative wheel size above. With that being said, going from the slightly heavier Enkei NT03's I had in the same size, to the TE37's, the weight difference was definitely noticeable in my opinion. oh and shameless plug, I'm also selling my set. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=75768 |

How much power does your car have? If you like the "tail-happynesz" of the car, you will not be happy with adding that much extra width, weight and grip to the rear.. The rims may be 2 whole pounds lighter /s, but the rubber to properly fit on them will make this set up weigh more than stock.

I believe the stock offset is around +48? I forget. and that is on a 17x7 wheel. So that is why the wheels appear sunken inside of the wheel well.
