Will Changing the size of the tire profile affect the ride height of the car?

Yes. A wider tire of the same size as in going from a 205/70-15 to a 205/60-15 will lower the ride height. Got to a 205/75-15 and you raise the ride height.

Will changing r 18 to r 20 wheels affect speed?

Depends, changing the rim size will affect it, but if the aspect ratio of the tire is smaller on the bigger rim it could be the same. The distance from the center of the tire to the outside tread, if this changes, it changes the revaluations of the rotor. R- just stands for radial.


Do 22 inch wheels affect the performance and fuel economy on a 07 charger?

The size of the wheel itself does not affect performance or fuel economy, but the height of the tire does. A taller tire will decrease performance, but increase fuel economy. A taller tire would have a larger circumference, and therefore decrease the engine speed (RPM's) leading to the improved economy. On the other hand, a taller tire also acts to reduce the car's ability to accelerate (like changing the gear ratio). Also, the speedometer won't be accurate any more.

What number on a tire indicates the height?

No number specifically indicates the height. You can however figure the height with a little math. As in 245/70-15 the 245 is the width of the tire in millimeters. The 70 is the aspect ratio which means the tire's height is 70% of the tires width. So on this example the height of the tire is 171.5 millimeters.
