<p>If i fit bigger wheels will I get better mpg?</p>
<p>Again the answer is yes, this approach can make a significant difference to economy, but it comes at a price, and care must be taken. If you go too big with your wheel/tire combination, you may experience the tires rubbing against the wheel arch! You should consider the following points before trying this method.<span id="more-17"></span></p>
<p>1) Changing the wheel/tire size will affect the gearing of your car, this can be a problem in an already underpowered car as acceleration will be even slower.</p>
<p>2) Fitting bigger wheels will affect the turning circle of your car, you will require more road space for U-turns &amp; 3 point turns etc.</p>
<p>3) The accuracy of your speedometer &amp; trip meter will be affected. A typical example of this is your speedo showing 40mph, when you&#8217;re actually doing 50mph! On a more positive note, the car would be more relaxing to drive, with a softer ride &amp; less engine noise at cruising speeds.</p>
