It depends on the tire/wheel you select. I went to slightly wider 16's with the same rolling diamiter as the stock setup. I noticed no change in performance or fuel mileage.


But if you go to something larger like 18, 19, or 20's you will notice a drop. Also your brakes will have to work harder, which isn't really a problem on MB's but on normal cars it is.
