Ghawkins do you know what the wheel and tire weight is for the EX-L 2.0 17s?
I'm looking on tire rack now for a new set of wheels and tires, but I want to make sure I go with something lighter than the factory 17s.
I'm looking at two options:
-O.Z. Alleggerita HLT 17s at 15.55 lbs. with General G-max RS 225/50ZR17 at 22 lbs. for a total of 37.55 lbs.
-O.Z. Alleggerita HLT 18s at 17.50 lbs. with N Fera Surg4G 225/45zr18 at 25 lbs. for a total of 42.5 lbs.
They are both 8" wide. I'm hoping to keep traction all the way through 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. The hard, 7.5", factory wheels just ain't cutting it.
It's close to a 5 lbs. difference between the 17s and the 18s per wheel, but it'd be nice to know what the factories are. I'm not too worried about the filling the wheel wells. I have intentions to lower it soon.
