I smell a fish. A red herring, to be precise.

They can take a 16" or a 17" wheel with no problems. They won't even really mess up the steering geometry.

Over 18" and they could scrub the wheel wells, but the only problem really is inaccurate speedometers with oversize wheels on the car.

Nothing to worry about if you keep it within reason.
