Re: wheel and tire question

Re: wheel and tire question

no, your gas mileage wouldn't change.

Re: wheel and tire question
To answer your questions, Yes, they will fit. No, they won't improve fuel mileage, or at least what cam.man said, not enough to make a difference. Finding the right size tire will be the next step. I think a 255/55/18 would be a decent size tire for stock height and still have a reasonable price.

Re: wheel and tire question
if anything the wider tire required by that rim will increase your rolling resistance and a slight loss in mileage would be expected
