What wheel size? (any car) - AlastairW
My car currently rolls along on 14in steel wheels carrying 185/65R14 tyres. Because it looks a bit like its on stilts, I would like to get some nice alloys, possibly 15 or 16 inchers. Is this a good idea, and if so what size tyre do I need to get so that the speedo etc are not affected?
Apologies if this has been asked before!

Yes, this has been covered before.

However click on this link: www.chris-longhurst.com/carbibles/index.html?menu....l

Look at the wheel and tyre bible. There is a calculator to compare rolling radius, etc.
