they are heavier than the stock 15's you probably have now. power wise, as long as the overall height is the same, it will not change the gear ratio. Taller will make you lose a little low end, a shorter height will gain a little low end power. the butt dino probably won't notice.

All you got to worry is about is that measily 98 rwhp that the 2.5l makes rotational mass is going to be your worst enemy.
