my car is currently on stock rims which are 16%26quot;. I am wanting to change to 22%26quot;s.
I know how to change tires myself.... If I change from 16 to 22, will my car need any adjustments? the new wheels will already be an approved fit and completely balanced and ready to be put on.
does the car itself need anything done, or can i switch from 16 to 22%26quot;, and back?Question about afermarket tires and rims?A sure way to tell if those will fit is trust in the seller, sounds like they will fit if the seller of these has done all the measurements and has actually had these mounted on the same model car as you have. Ask if any modifications have been made to the suspension or the body.
If you trust the seller then go ahead and do it.
You can measure the diameter of your wheel and see if it comes close to the diameter of the rims your trying to get.
The width and offset come into play here as well. The offset is going to be different with wider wheels than factory wheels.
I really like the look of the deep set hubs. You may want to go with some smaller rims and more meaty tires if the car is a daily driver. If its a fun car and you only use it on the weekends or at your car club. Go crazy!
If the wheels fit you shouldn't need to do any other modifying.
But an alignment isn't a bad idea with new tires, It helps them last longer and track straight.Question about afermarket tires and rims?without knowing what type of car it is hard to say but you will need to check that the tire is not rubbing anywhere the tire size may also affect your turning. bigger and or wider tires make it harder to turn in small areasQuestion about afermarket tires and rims?there's a chance your car might need to be realigned if you go to big. it's always recommended when you make those kinds of changes to your car. otherwise, it probably won't affect your car adversly. most people don't get an alignment cause it's not neccessary. there are place you can take it that have lifetime alignments for a one time fee. I would shop around. otherwise. it shoud be fine. good luck.Question about afermarket tires and rims?more than likely, you will need to do some adjustments to the suspension and the brakes to handle the bigger tires and rims. the tires will most likely not fit in the wheel wells without some type of lift. plus you have to upgrade the brakes to handle the extra weight.Question about afermarket tires and rims?Your probably running rubber band tires that are really thin Don't get near any curbs or pot holes.
you'll trash an expensive rim.
Sounds like a custom job your fooling yourself if you think you can just slap these on and go.
by all means buy them and enjoy living in fear of every crack and imperfection in the asphalt.
Go with a different size rim and tire those huge custom rims are for show cars and big suvs with the rubber to protect the rims. Show cars are driven once a month and live in museaums with overprotective owners
Go with a slightly smaller rim and a little more side wall if you want to drive this every day.Question about afermarket tires and rims?Remember that you have to change the tire size as far as aspect ratio goes. You have approximately three inches less clearance around the wheel well.Question about afermarket tires and rims?The only thing you have to worry about is the rubbing of the tires when you hit bumps. If 22's are too big they will rub and wear really quick. Also like the guy said before me it is hard to say when you didn't say what type of car it is. I drive a 2000 granprix. I have 16's and if I put 22'2 on it the tires would rub when I turn! If you really want to put 22's on you will have to give your body a lift which can be expensive.I would just say stick with 16's.If they rub then there is a chance they will pop and who knows when they pop...You could be driving down the highway when they go and then you'll be screaming and praying to god!!Question about afermarket tires and rims?We must know the year make and model of your car before establishing the fact that such %26quot;big wheels%26quot; will fit.

I'll be perfectly honest with you. I've never seen 22%26quot; wheels on a car before. Trucks and SUV's possibly, I doesn't seem there would be enough room in the stock fender-wells for wheels and tires to turn or ride over bumps.
