Any change to the weight of the vehicle can change your MPG. Adding a larger, heavier wheel can reduce your mileage.

Indeed
I have 18" was on my accord now I was gonna put it on but I don't want decrease the MPG. I guess I'm looking for trade my 18" for either 15" or 16". I will put it in the sell section soon.

Thanks Taz

Finally got the car. 15s with stock suspension.

Hey I'm diggin the 15s especially with some Azenis RT-615s perhaps.
What offset and width is it?

Wow, it looks like a little 4x4 with those super wide-sidewall tires

I guarantee you guys will not regret getting the TRD suspension setup - even if you stick with the OEM tires/wheels. The TRD setup transforms the iQ from an average little car driving experience to a normal/good handling experience.

I was talking about this 15 inch tire:

Falken Azenis RT-615K tires listed by size

And I like my tires not too low profile.
Kinda like this:

and I may get rear sway bar in the future. "Lowering my iQ" is out of the question. Joking aside, because my significant other drives it occasionally.

So whats the problem? My wife drives the iQ downtown in rough roads (i.e. potholes, gravel) and steep inclines with no issues. Ride is amazing good with much better handling

 

[sometimesido]

She is in the "don't modify daily driver" camp. I can probably get away with the sway bar, but not lowering the car. There is no convincing. It's just the way it is.

*First Post* Forum won't let me post a pic

16x7 +40 Rota Slipstream stretched on the stock 175/60-16 Goodyear Assurance
Not a crazy stretch IMO but still needed to be blasted.
Interestingly center caps wouldn't fit over the front wheel hubs

Car drives quite differently with the wider track, a little more than 2" wider all around.
Front wheels sit pretty flush, rear could use a thin spacer perhaps.
I'm okay leaving it as is until I lower it.

Was genuinely quite shocked at how heavy the stock steelies were when I was moving them back into storage. These wheels must've shed about 5lbs per corner.

Would 16x7 +45 or 16x7.5 +41 work without rubbing? Would they also clear the wildwood big brake kit?

 

[jzchen]

www.tirerack.com shows two wheel options 16x7 +45, so those should fit. I'm really not sure about the Wilwood Big Brake Kits. There are a 4 piston and 6 piston setup for the front and a 4 piston rear. Could try to check with FastBrakes:

Wow a lot of sweet wheels. Gotta love how a set of wheel transforms a car. This is on my list to do down the road too. Lots of good inspiration here.

These 18's are going on in a couple of weeks

I should post a pic of mine when I get a chance to wash her. The only mods are I installed the fog lights on the front and the little LEDs on the rear bumper, replaced the Scion badges with Toyota, and got the windows tinted nice and dark. Oh, and I replaced the Scion hubcaps with Toyota.

It's funny your wives who don't like the ride...mine hates to ride in the iQ because it's so rough and jerky. Her Prius and my Tundra are super smooth in comparison. How hard is the TRD mod to install on the iQ? I may want to do that this summer.

 

[jzchen]

Coming from a Smart Fortwo every single time I drive my iQ it feels so plush and comfortable!

Still trying to “see”/verify if 16x7 with +35mm offset will fit with 195/55R16 tires. No lowering....

This picture is very helpful! I’ve been trying to find the lowest weight 16x7 wheel possible and run 195/55R16 run flat tires. The lightness hopefully makes up for the extra run flat weight.

BBS makes an RG 527 wheel which is 16x7 ET +35mm, per specs on their website 12.8 lbs. Enkei makes an RPF1 16x7 in +35mm (13.70 lbs per ENKEI spec) and +43mm (no ENKEI spec but TireRack says 13.55 for bronze but 13.7 lbs for my preferred silver). I guess I could run +43mm up front and +35 in the rear.

Since I rarely need all four tires at the exact same time I may try two +43mm in the rear and see what I feel, then move them up front and get two +35 if not satisfied with how they sit in the back.

Found some 16x6 and used the stock tires

 

[Cyberblue]

I have 16х7 wheels, they have never once let me down. But that's on the scion. I also have a Mercedes Benz and I have monoblock wheels on it. I inherited it after my dad died, but I rarely drive it. Also, it's not that economical and there's a lot of gasoline.

Volk Racing discontinued the CE28 Club Racer in 3 16” sizes that would fit the iQ. (Their website doesn’t list any 16” CE28 Club Racer wheels). They did add a CE28N 16x7 ET42 4H-100 φ29-φ13 exclusively for non-domestic (non-Japanese) purchases. I have put in a deposit at my favorite alignment place here in the SGV for a set. He informed me it may take 6 months.
