17” ZE1 alloys on ZE0.

Are you worried about m/kWh...or even an accurate speedometer?
I assume you have a 24 kWh pack, so I would think you'd be somewhat concerned with efficiency.

Thank you for the reply. I am new to LEAF and please educate me if I am off base!

Yes, I do worry about the m/kWh and odo/speedometer accuracy. For those reasons, I am only looking at the OEM LEAF 17" wheels to replace the original 16" set up on my SV. As far as I can tell, the only difference between 17" alloys for ZE0 and ZE1 is the 1mm offset difference...which, I assume, is negligible. What I do not know is if 16" wheel set up provides better m/kWh than the 17"s. I am sure this has been discussed here previously, but if I will sacrifice efficiency for going with the 17" wheels, I would be hesitant to make the switch. Yes, I do have 24 kWh pack and it has been babied.

1 mm doesn't sound like much...until you multiply it by thousands and thousands of revolutions.
You can probably find plenty of threads on the topic, but larger wheels (at least on an EV) create unintended (negative) consequences (heavier, etc.).
