wheel size

[hcl]

Hi all, I need some help regarding wheel size. I have a 325 sports, and wondering what are the cons of changing to bigger wheels (19 or 20s) what is likely to break and void warranty? also, what else do I need to change should I change to bigger wheels. THanks in advance

bro, your ride is sport version means that the spring and shocks are already upgraded for handling.

Compare the sport to normal version, your comfort would be reduced. if you upgrade to 19" or 20", be prepare to feel the roughness of the road.

control bushing would be affected as well.

btw, is your rims now 18"?

Hi Jarance,

Yes, the wheels are now 18', with RFT. If I do go for bigger wheels, are there any chances of anything breaking and void warranty?

Bro, Nothing will break. Only the rims will break if you enter a hole. Look at the inner panel of the driver side door. They have given us the recommended tyre presure to use, means they are expecting you to upgrade to 19".

If you are worried that the car be under power cause of 19" or 20". Then use Velocity, its not bad. It doesn't increase BHP but it increases responsiveness.

Cheers

It would help if you post some picture of the wheels/rim of new ride and your intend rims that you want to get.
