What are the drawbacks of changing from 18-inch to 19-inch wheels?

[Perez]

Changing from 18-inch to 19-inch wheels has the following disadvantages: 1. Reduced shock absorption performance - larger wheels have relatively lower rolling resistance, leading to decreased shock absorption. 2. Increased road noise - larger wheels require more time to complete a full rotation, with increased friction surfaces resulting in louder noise. 3. Higher fuel consumption - changes in tire section width or aspect ratio will increase fuel consumption. 4. Degraded handling and driving experience - larger wheels raise the center of gravity, affecting vehicle balance and steering response, resulting in insufficient steering input, reduced steering angle, and heavier steering feel. 5. Increased load on the braking system - causing greater wear on brake pads.
