If you mean tires by wheels, then the 18 inch ones will get better mileage. If you mean rims by wheels, then it really doesn't matter because if you get a bigger rim you have to get a skinnier tire, so they will still be the same diameter.

Neither!!!!!! it depends on how tall the tire is not the wheel. the taller the tire the less your r.p.m. will be and the less gas you use.

Neither. It's only that 1 set of tires give you better ride than the other.
