Switching from stock 17 inch tires to 18 inch
Hey guys, I'm looking to switch my stock 17 inch tires to the M sport 18 inch tires. I'm not too sure if I need to do anything in order to switch to a bigger size rim or if I need anything to do it.
Can y'all give me some advice on how to go about this? Thanks! |

Make sure you know 18 inch tires need 18 inch wheels (or alloys, rims). I know it sounds obvious but some people don't realize this.
Next make sure those wheels fit on your car. It's best to check out different threads in the wheels/tires forum for sizes and spacing. Not all wheels are the same. It will take some research if you're not familiar with wheels. Hope it works out! |

Make sure you stick to the same rolling diameter so your speedometer stays accurate. That will mean a narrower sidewall with a bigger wheel.
