Unfortunately people often refer to the whole Rim (wheel) + Tire assembly as a "Wheel".

Sometimes you can buy different aspect ratio tires that will fit on your Rims that when the tire is mounted will result in a Taller Tire giving you a larger diameter.

Or, did you mean you wanted to change your Rim size as an example: change from a 15" Rim to a 16" Rim?

I have 16" rims with 205/55 R16 tires. The circumference is slightly larger than the stock 14" wheels and tires, but not enough to throw off the speedometer.

I have pics of them on my wagon in my albums, but they're going on my CD in spring.

For ride quality 18 is the MAX you can go.

17-15 is the best for looks/handling.


anything past 17 and your "Benz" feels goes away.
