Message	So after deciding what wheels I want to order for my TT, I have decided to go with some Work Meister S2R's. I think I'm going to go with 18x8.5 up front, and 18x10's in the rear. And most likely a +40 on all 4 wheels.I'm undecided about what size tires to run with this set up but I have a long time before I have to make that decision...but probably 245's in the front, and 275's in the rear. Anyways, My question isn't about wheel size, or tire size, or even offsets. I am just wondering how much the larger 18" wheels, and slightly larger tires will effect my accelleration? The Work wheels are fairly light in weight, and I know that my handling will improve...but what about acceleration? Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. It has been a dream for years. Now it's mine. Some people think I'm obsessed. But, then again, those people just don't get it.
