Alloys Question

rubyred · 2006-09-08 08:15:20

This may be a bit of a blond question, but I am changing the 18 inch rims on my car for 17s so that I can use slightly higher profile tyres (sick of getting flats). Can I put any 17 inch rims on, or do only certain rims fit certain cars???

Hmmm,those bigger wheels could be stopping the car scraping the ground,especially if its lowered or full of ice at the rear.Nothing worse that the crunching bodykit going over ramps!

Just once the new wheels mathc your stud fitment and offset then pick what you think will suit it

the smaller alloy the higher tyre profile. the diameter should be similar.
