18 inch rims for the 2.4 SS

if i install the 18 inch supercharged rims on a 2.4 ss would i run into any problems?

would it mess up my speedo?

would it make the car run slower?


Thanks.

They fit fine. Remember, the 2.4 and SS/SC have the same brakes and almost the same suspension. Run them with a 225/40/18 and your speedometer will be within 1% difference... basically nothing.

They are a bit heavier but probably not enough for you to notice the car is slower.
