wheel size and boost?

running a bigger wheel at 18" roughly, how much boost would estimate you lose?

I dont think youd really lose boost, but there is more inertia, everything gets thrown off, and its really pointless to run 18" rims on a built honda.

18" Rrms are just too much rim, they aren't as predictable on the ragged edge and bend rim lips too easy.

16" rims have great tire size choices, the sizes are all 95% of tires we need.

If you run brakes that are too big for 16" rims that 17" rims should get the job done.


My tire and rim choice's is either a 225/45-16'" BFG KDW's on lightweight 16x7 rims or 245/35ZR16 Toyo Proxes T1R's on 16x8 lightweight rims.

This will be my tire and rim combo when I swap over to 5 lug hubs and larger brakes.

I plan on running Tanabe DF210 springs with Tokico Illumina series struts.
It will be fine tuned using swaybars and camber kits.

I will daily drive my 'Lude besides autocrossing it and doing a few track days.
