What happens when you increase wheel size?

If you choose bigger wheels, you will improve the stability of your car and the range of braking distance will be shortened; A larger diameter means that the wheel will be heavier and consequently speed will be slightly compromised during acceleration (depending also on the torque of the car);

Are 16 inch wheels good?

AAA – Yes, wheel size has a big impact on ride comfort. The smaller 16-inch wheels come with tyres that have larger sidewalls that act as cushions against sharp edges on the roads, like ruts and potholes. While 17-inch tyres look much better, the shorter sidewalls aren’t as good in filtering out road shocks.

Can I use 16 inch tires instead of 17?

Yes you can fit 16 inch tyres instead of the 17 inch ones just make sure to increase the tyre profile in order to reach the OEM circumference of the wheel your car came with ( if it was fitted with 17 inches from the manufacturer) otherwise you may get speedometer error.

Will bigger rims damage my car?

Bigger Wheels = Bigger Bills Overall, bigger tires and wheels are better for increasing your vehicle’s traction.
