17" tires weigh more than 18" tires.

Not one size, but one tire model. (even though earlier it was mentioned you could just use a 35 series tire on a 17" wheel - in reality its not much of an option).

Depends on what stock size tire you run
-
ZBlacktt
15:21:08 05/25/05
If you run the stock tire size on the 16" wheel,

Why can you install 20" wheels on a C5 butnot on a Z32? (n/m)
-
Guapo
12:31:00 05/25/05
Because they were designed to allow for a larger wheel+tire
-
maglito
12:53:06 05/25/05
That rotational inertia is more important than you think...
-
PennStateZ
13:38:13 05/25/05
I understand your point, but I think the diffenence is small
-
maglito
13:47:43 05/25/05
Not really.

17" guys can do that :)

ZBlacktt
15:39:55 05/25/05
That is the kind of test that needs to be done...

If price is not a factor for him,

PennStateZ

rotational inertia is not a factor to be concerned with.

14:30:25 05/25/05
Rotational inertia would affect acceleration...

you CAN install a 20" wheel on a z32. (n/m)

You could install a 26" wheel...
