I just purchased a 2017 EX-L Sedan. Great car but the stock 17 inch wheels give the car a very floaty feel. Alot of body roll. I avoided the bigger tires on the sport becaus ei didnt want a harsh ride. Now im kinda regretting it. Im thinking about looking into the 18 inch diamond cut alloy wheels the offer as an option on my car. My friend has a 16 EXL Coupe with these exact wheels that come standard. She let me drive her car and talk about night and day difference. Her car handled like a dream. Super fun to drive. Tight handling. So im wondering if i get these wheels and put them on my EXL would it handle the same as her coupe or is it the fact that it was a coupe more of what i was feeling? Any thoughts?\
Thanks
Mike

 

While I do not have the full specifications regarding bushing stiffness, strut/shock valve rates, and spring rates, the Honda web site does quite clearly state the roll bars on the Coupe (18mm-f/16mm-r for the 4-cylinder models and 19mm-f/16mm-r for the V6 models) are thicker than the roll bars on the Sedan (17mm-f/14mm-r). The betting is the roll bars are stiffer as is the rest of the suspension.
