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.

I'll have to look at the wheels
Didn't notice they were bigger
So if its the case
mileage would actually be higher?
as one revolution was actually travelling a greater distance than a 15 in wheel?
say 1 or 2 inches extrra per mile
How many inches to a mile?...63360 inches to a mile so in actuality it was 63362 in per mile
63362 X 200000 =12672400000 in + 12 + 10560333000 feet + 5280=
200,006
so on 200 K its 3 extra miles per inch
Well, not much....
all approx of course
Really...
Can a larger tire adversely affect the long term life of the car?
Thanks
