Hi all,

I need your advice My sonic is europe model and engine is 1.3 75hp whats your suggestions for me whats the true choice for me 17" or 18" and I want to use with 205/40 tires

do you have weight data for each wheel type? With only 75hp...I wonder if going up in size from 17 to 18 would add 15+lb in weight...

1.3 diesel?
If it the diesel you should have no issues tuning the tires with the torque

Yes diesel and now Im using 16 rims tire is 205/55r16

I would stick with a light weight 17" like the Sparco's that are popular in the US cars, 18's start to looka little too big on these cars, especially if you want to run springs with approximately 2" of drop.

Anyone use 205/40/r17 can post the picture
