Default 205/55/16 vs 225/40/18 questions

how much of a diameter difference is there between the two? Also for those of you running 18's, did you notice any loss of accelerations?

much thanks in advanced

Ken

205-55-16: Circumference 78.2
225-40-18: Circumference 78.8

For every 10000 miles traveled, the odometer will read 9916.8 miles.

Not really....it's the best choice for an 18" setup.
