ya it would, but what *** hat would acutlly put a 185/60 on a 17" rim

you'd look like a 4x4.

you'll have a tad bit more top end...but you'll be a lot slower thoihg
Someone with some light 15's with ab it less power then you will give you a beating. I've seen 15's weighing in at 13 lbs some even less depends on material and make.

My DIV.3 16"s weigh 12.6 lbs.

the 17"s he was looking at in stevemode's thread are 18lbs

fake spoons are like 13lbs at 15" 15 or so at 16"

TE37's are less then that.

my wheels are pretty expensive

TE37's are more then that

fake spoons don't weigh TOO much less

those 17"s are like $350

if you can clear them in your wheelwell, buy them. then sell them after you've drove on them a while and have saved enough money to buy a good set of wheels.
